If you really believe that, you know very little about the NFL and how it works.

The stuff the Pats were accused of amounts to a fine of $25k. Even with that fine, their penalties from the NFL amount to #16 out of 32 teams.

There are plenty of other teams that do worse stuff than the Pats.

Educate yourself before saying things that make you sound silly.

According to what I heard, what the Pats did is like a “parking ticket”, the Vikings warmed up balls on the sideline and got no penalty, except don’t do it again. What the Pats are alleged to have done I guess from those who know will not be reckless driving, only a parking ticket.

The Vikes and Panthers both tampered with balls this season (in the same game), their punishment was letters from the league telling them don’t do that anymore. It’s a nothing rule. And the data from VP of officiating says they have no record of the PSIs before the game, so there’s a good chance there wasn’t even any tampering, the refs just missed it in their inspection.

Educate yourself. Delfategate is dumb. It’s a non-issue. At least every time somebody not the Pats gets caught messing with balls it is.
