Brady Deflates, Hillary Skates
American Thinker ^ | May 14, 2015 | Daniel John Sobieski

That the standards of transparency are seemingly higher for an NFL Super Bowl quarterback than for a former Secretary of State and presidential wannabe does not bode well for our republic nor speak well of the state of the so-called mainstream media. But the double standards regarding media treatment of Tom Brady versus Hillary Clinton are many and troubling.

We should all be asking ourselves just why there is more concern and angst over Tom Brady’s use of slightly deflated footballs to get a better grip and improve his chances of winning a football game than regarding Hillary Clinton’s use of private email accounts on a private server and her deleting of 30,000 emails to improve her chances of winning the White House in 2016.

Do we hold NFL quarterbacks to higher standards than presidential contenders? He used deflated footballs against NFL rules but he did not leave our diplomatic mission in Benghazi with inadequate security and then blame the deaths of four Americans after the September 1, 2011 terrorist attack on an Internet video. Nor did he try to enhance his reputation by claiming to have dodged sniper fire in Bosnia.

I made the statement the other day and I also posted it on my Twitter account: Tom Brady refused to turn over 4 or 5 e-mails and got punished. Hillary deleted 32,000 e-mails, affecting our national security, and gets a pass. (No pun intended.)

“Do we hold NFL quarterbacks to higher standards than presidential contenders?”

Yes, pro football is real and has some standards. I don’t see anything real about most politicians and most of them don’t have standards and most of us don’t expect them to anymore. The Clinton’s were leaders in the “no more standards for politicians” effort.
