During the 2015 NFL offseason, Tom Brady was suspended four games for altering the weight of footballs used in a playoff game this past year against the colts. Brady appealed the suspension and it was overturned. He was not suspended for any games. He proved he had no part in deflating the footballs.
When Brady won the case, a lot of people were upset because they felt he definitely had something to do with deflating the footballs, especially after the public found out he destroyed a cell phone prior to meeting with the chief of the investigation, Ted Wells. Despite the accusations, Brady was proven not guilty. A lot of sports fans think Tom Brady should have been found guilty. These people should rethink their opinions and actually give Brady a pat on the back.
Brady beat the NFL. There is nothing controversial about this dilemma. Roger Goodell finally loses. Goodell is popular among fans, but not in a good way. He started to lose fans when he began fining defensive players for making big hits on offensive players. He also tried changing the name of the "Redskins" because he thought it was racist. This has all brought down his reputation and fans now want him out. He has done more harm to the league than good.
Now, Tom Brady is being looked down on for giving Goodell a taste of his own medicine. This was the first step to kick Roger Goodell out of his position. This was the best football news I have heard for years. I have wanted Goodell out of the league ever since he was fining Steelers linebacker, James Harrison for making big hits that he couldn't help.
The fact of the matter is that Brady made a huge difference for the NFLPA. There are going to be a lot more cases appealed now and hopefully Goodell gets tested more and more. Players, Agents, and even fans are going to be questioning Goodell a lot more, now that Brady made him look a little stupid. He isn't looked at like a good commissioner who does no wrong anymore, because he was wrong. Wrong in the court of law. It doesn't get much worse than that.
