Just imagine the uproar if the Pats had done this !!!

I don't personally see a problem here. But, just imagine if the Patriots had done this, the uproar that would have taken place. I am sure we would have lost a first round pick, someone would have been suspended / fired, etc.

Yes, there would be a few that would create some drama, and the sports entertainment industry would of course fill the internets with outrage. But based on my last few years of talking to fans of other teams about the Pats' dominance, I think most fans would just be shaking their heads at the stupidity of their own coaching staffs making them vulnerable to the Pats. I've sense a resignation to the Pats' superiority during this recent SB success that's an entirely different mood than in the past.

YEP EXACTLY, you can just imagine how this would have been spun in the media.

That's axiomatic, no one whines quicker, harder or longer. Look no further than the average Jete fan

I would call what you are now seeing from fans of other teams, "grudging respect".

I don't think that anyone would say anything because teams do this sort of thing all the time. Using game film to find those tendencies.

The problem with "Cameragate" is that the Patriots were making their own films of opposing sidelines using a Camera that wasn't located inside an enclosed space.
