Ownership of what action are you talking about?
Brady smashed his phone, behaved like the high school jock who got away with something, and had texts with a guy who called himself the deflator. In addition, the deflator went inside a bathroom with the footballs. That was illegal in of itself.
Are you one of the patriot fans whose only book they read since high school was the Wells Report?
I post on here, because I generally like reading the comments and most on here are relatively like minded on most political articles. this isn’t a political article, unless you consider the fact that the cheating Qb of the cheating Patriots is wasting the court’s time.
I was talking about your ownership of your own actions, of watching games you didn’t want to watch, or responding to posters you don’t want to respond to.
It was Brady’s phone to do with as he wished. It is irrelevant, and given the way he has been slandered, he would have been a fool to surrender his phone to the NFL.
I consider myself reasonably well read, though I have difficulty reading now because my eyes are getting so bad. But I do know enough about these things to have actually run through the ideal gas law myself and plug in the relevant components before that aspect became newsworthy, though I admittedly made the same mistake most people did the first time I did it, and was only to do the calculations correctly after I knew what the mistake was, not quite an obvious one, but a significant one.
No, I can read.
As a conservative, I understand that the efforts of the courts aren’t (or shouldn’t be) restricted to the famous, the rich, or the powerful, and that a individual’s principles to uphold are just as worthy of judicial review as some corporation that has a lot of money and power.
I imagine if you were docked one quarter of your income or your life’s savings unfairly, not to mention your reputation, you wouldn’t just express the equivalent of Bill Clinton’s “just put some ice on it”. You might fight it out too.
I think it is a worthy case, much in the same way “Citizens United vs FEC” was a worthy case. Liberals don’t think the money spent by Citizens United was worth a hearing at the Supreme Court, but I do.
It isn’t the money. It’s the principle.

Going inside the bathroom without the balls would have been worse...but yes, it’s not in accordance of Best Practices.
On the other hand...no evidence of an offense regarding pressures - only evidence that the NFL leadership was too daft to understand what “outdoors” means, and repeated instances of the NFL not following its own procedures, lying about evidence, and hiding exculpatory evidence.
MOST outdoor football games are played with footballs outside of specs. The full natural PSI variation approaches 6 PSI - which the calculations and equations in the Wells report agree with, by the way.
