First off, nothing was proven. The balls couldve very well have lost deflation due to weather. Nobody knows. Nothing has been proven.
However, even if the balls were purposely deflated.....
It was such an insignificant amount. It had no bearing on the outcome of the game whatsoever.
It would be like going 64mph on a street that has a 60mph limit. Everybody goes a little over the speed limit. Most sensible police officers have a certain amount of leniency and would not arrest you for this. It would be a slap on the wrist warning and that's it.
What's happened with delfate gate is like being caught going 64mph in a 60mph street and being arrested, taken to court, put in jail for 4 weeks, and losing your car for 2016.
But what about the integrity of the game? This has NEVER been about the integrity of the game. Nobody cared when Aaron Rodgers admitted he likes balls overinflated. Nobody cared when Jerry Rice said he used stick'um. Nobody wouldve gave 2 ****s if the Browns had been caught deflating balls. People only cared because they hate the Patriots for being so successful. They want a reason to justify their hate. "I cant stand them cuz theyre cheaters!". I find it funny that so many people hate on success. Only a born loser or a jealous person would hate success.
From the very beginning this was about people in the league office and media trying to bring the Patriots down. Kraft knew this from the start and that's why its so bothersome that he folded and let them win.
