What is the basis for it? Is it because he was caught and punished for violating league rules? In other words, prosecuted for something he actually did? I don't get it.
I hope someone can shed light on this whole puzzling situation. Thanks.
it is because every coach in the league has been doing this "filming" for as long as Halas was a coach and the only one who has been punished is BB and the Pats.

It's because, In Goodell's desperation to prove that he's a tough guy, he punished Belichick FAR too severely, to the point that conspiracy theorists point to the punishment as proof that there must be even more to the story. Then the tapes were destroyed, without any public vindication of the Patriots, leading to even more conspiracy theorism, while coaches and players around the league questioned the validity of the three super bowls. All over a procedural infraction that wasn't even against the rules until last season.
For an analogy (and I hate analogies, but still), it's somewhat akin to getting thrown in jail for going 10mph over the speed limit. Yeah you were speeding, yeah you got caught, but the punishment went so far beyond fitting the crime that it was a joke.
I need to get a poster of this, btw.

I'm sorry, I still don't get the basis for his attitude. Seems kind of like Charles Manson going on an "F.U. Tour" to protest his murder conviction.
You are intentionally trying to stir the pot and I don't like it. If you want to believe that Belichick is the only coach to steal signals than so be it. It's a free country. The rest of us choose to live in the real world where signal stealing is an art form. Jimmy Johnson, Dan Reeves, Mike Shanahan et al have admitted as much. Jimmy Johnson even outed the Colts offensive line coach as the "best in the business at stealing signals."

My take on the F.U. Attitude is the following: After SpyGate broke, a strong contingent of NFL fans (and several players too) spoke out against the Patriots, saying that they only achieved greatness (3 Super Bowls in 4 years) because they cheated. Well, Bill Belichick and the Patriots have gone out this season to show how great their coach and their team really are, regardless of any video tape allegations. In order to show their greatness, they have taken out their anger and frustration on the other teams in the NFL, leaving very little doubt as to how unique and special this organization is.
