With NFL fining athletes who don't talk to the media or wear colors that don't match their uniforms. Or wear Beats headphones. Which none of those directly effect the game.

But deflation of the ball does affect the game. Maybe not by much but still affects it.

Then you have the fact that the NFL clearly protects QB'S to an unfair level no to mention it's superstar QB'S can do no wrong.

Then you have the Patriots past spying troubles.
It's pretty Cleary the Patriots will bend the rules to gain any advantage they can.

So the NFL need to harshly punish the Patriots to show rules are not to be broken.

Suspension of Billiceck and Brady seems fair to me.
Because in anyone was at the front of this it would have been Brady.
He handles the ball the most. And gains the most from the deflation. There noway he didn't know.
I'll preface this with I am a Pats fan:

Then you have the rule which doesnt allow Lynch to wear good cleats. A rule in which the NFL clearly put some thought into to even make it a rule in the 1st place. Just bc something is a rule doesn't mean it always makes sense

Then you have the fact that it's ludicrous to assume only one team cheats. This team just happens to get caught bc of past exposure, not bc they're the only ones cheating.

Then you have the fact that Brady wasn't the only QB in that game who was using the deflated balls.
