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.

I did watch the games. I just rooted against the Patriots. Generally, I would have rather watched another game. However, I watched enough Patriot games to know how their fans behave at games. They boo heavily when they are not winning.

I believe he did cheat, we will never agree on that.

I didn’t mean that you were illiterate or cannot read. However, I find it amusing that so many people wasted their time reading the Wells Report instead many many better books.

About his pay being docked. If he was innocent, I would care. However, I find it hard to believe that he is. The NFL has been playing for about 100 years, and suddenly this is a problem. Give me a break.
