I have to laugh and agree with a poster above.
Let’s all celebrate that Tom Brady has been cleared!! Nothing like a pyric victory to roast marshmallows. Let’s all jump up and down at further confirmation that the Courts of this country feel that they can and should be involved in the following aspects of our lives: ANYTHING and EVERYTHING. Don’t like a grade your child received, sue. Don’t like the results of a sports game, sue. Don’t like being suspended by the league, sue. Sue, sue, sue, sue and trust your judicial overlords to govern your lives. But hey, you can feel good at your next Super Bowl party.
For those of you slamming ole Roger, in today’s judicial climate if Pete had tried to suspend Hornung for gambling (he was the Brady of his day), where the hell do you think that would have gone!?!? Please, Pete would have been castrated by some tyrant in robes just as fast as old Roger.
So celebrate judicial activism!!! After all, this was about deflated footballs, no biggie. But lets take a slide down the old slippery slope. If I am an NFL player, beat my wife and/or kids, hang some puppies, take some drugs, run over a crowd of people while driving drunk. Do anything, everything!!! Just find the right judge cry racism or whatever and resume your career after a brief stint in jail. In the meantime, the NFL can take the heat from those who want to end football as being “barbaric” and who readily point to player behavior as evidence. The NFL is stuck in a heads I win, tails you lose situation.
Fair or unfair, the NFL should be able to conduct its own investigations and suspend players in the manner it sees fit. If it adversely affects your team, tough!! I say tough because I want football around not where it is headed, namely, as the left’s next scalp on the lodge pole. Really, can someone tell me a time when a leftist judge will ever, ever, ever side with labor over “the man.”

Huh?

“Fair or unfair, the NFL should be able to conduct its own investigations and suspend players in the manner it sees fit.”
Not when the NFL has signed a contract saying it CANNOT do those things. Contracts are a part of the law.
