"De-flate-gate" whose fault is it?
Why is it that all these professional sports writers are
making accusations and pointing fingers at poor ole Tom Brady when they should
be asking why the National Football league allows each team to provide its' own
set of footballs? The National Football
League is a multi-billion dollar so-called "Non-profit," why can't they provide the official game
balls to be used by both teams and eliminate any possible "de-flate gate?"
As everyone knows, in professional baseball, the home team
provides the balls which must be authenticated and marked as official MLB game
balls. Both teams use the same set of
balls and, if there is some sort of flaw both teams will share in the problem.
Professional
football is the only game where players are allowed to perform in sub-human
conditions of bone-chilling cold weather complicated by wind, rain and
snow. If a deflated football offers
better control - thus creating a better quality game under these adverse
conditions, why doesn't the NFL amend its rules to allow teams to deflate the
football when weather conditions warrant that kind of adjustment?
It's
time for these professional sports writers to retreat from their short sighted
and prejudicial treatment of Brady and place the blame for this mess at the
doorstep of the NFL where it properly belongs!
