Why should I give a damn about this?

I've been a MA resident my whole life. I'm not much of a sports fan, but the only sport I ever watch is NFL football when the Patriots are doing well.

And I don't care very much one way or the other about this incident.

One thing I would say is that we seem to increasingly live in a world where the rules are whatever the powerful people want them to be. The rule book says: tamper with a football, face a $25,000 file.

What do we see? The Commissioner doing whatever he likes to stomp on the Patriots.

It's not about the Patriots.
It's not about Brady.
It's not about guilt or innocence.

It's about how all the rules, all the laws and all the sections of the Constitution just don't matter anymore. It's a free-for-all in America. The Powerful people do whatever they like. You can see Brady as an example of that, if you like. You can see the commissioner as an example, if you like. There are no rules for the Big Folk.

That's the only part of this I'm paying attention to.
