Nonsense. Science has nothing to do with it, in any event.
The evidence from the investigation shows that there was something fishy going on. Read the transcripts of the text messages, for one thing.
This is a judgement call based on the Commissioner's office.
Roger Goodell, through the team owners, has an inherent right to impose discipline on any employee of the corporation.
If Goodell determines that Brady committed conduct detrimental to the game, then that's that.
Brady was able to defer his punishment for a year, but now he's going to have to serve it.
The real travesty was the original judge's overturning of the NFL's decision. That took left-wing attitudes about labor rights to a new level.
Except where otherwise governed by a labor contract, any employer may sanction an employee for any reason they see fit.
And don't forget, this situation arose out of initial complaints which were coming from other players.
The NFL as a corporation has every right to discipline its employees.
All will be right with the NFL and the world once Tom Brady actually serves his 4-game suspension.
Only an extremely pro-union ideologue could support the overtly anti-business reasoning of the judge who initially overturned Brady's suspension. That's why it was reversed: because the management runs a company, not labor.
The Wells investigation was completely fraudulent and was the reason the judge overturned the arbitration decision. There is no evidence of Brady doing anything “fishy”. There is evidence of the NFL and Goodell continually lying and releasing false information.
If you think honesty is a “left wing attitude” then I have to disagree. The first judge was honest. He saw that Goodell had continually lied and that the behavior was so egregious as to exceed the extremely high bar required to overturn an arbitration decision.
The NFL, like any organization, can discipline players but must observe a minimum standard of honesty and fairness.
Learn about the law and why the first judge overturned Goodell’s decision. And why one of the 3 judges also voted to overturn. Two of the four judges that heard the case have felt that Goodell’s actions were so egregious that his decision needed to be overturned.
