This is purely mob mentality. It would be nice if the media would take an objective look at the Wells report and its many many flaws, but the media is lazy and agenda driven and the mob is easily influenced.

73% of Americans are full of **** and are welcome to extra helpings.

 

[RIpats88]

do they realize that the patriots won the superbowl with regulation balls?

 

[BronxPatsFan80]

That 73% can go fu!# themselves.

 

[goheels22002]

There is a highly scientific poll on this forum on this very question. Please take a moment to vote.

 

[DaBruinz]

Correction, 73% of the people that took the time to vote in that poll think the Patriots should vacate their Super Bowl Wins.

The people that vote on the internet do not accurately represent the population of the USA. I learned that long ago.

Still haven't talked to a person where I live in Texas that doesn't think this whole thing is stupid or overblown. At worst, one guy told me even if they cheated, who cares?

MODS.. Please change the erroneous title of this thread..

The average person is a complete and utter idiot. This whole travesty is a sad commentary on society. What a bunch of mindless, envious, petty losers.

Modern day "polling" is a very misused and manipulated thing. While there still are unbiased polls, so much of polling is now construed as to make it necessary to view all polling dubiously. First rule, if a "Poll" doesn't include methodology it is to be completely dismissed.

We're a simple minded country. I wish we were not but we factually are. You want a poll? Some time ago one asked Americans if the product 'I Can't Believe It's Not Butter' is actually butter. Over 50% responded yes it is butter. Most people can't list more than one bill of right while most can list 2 or more of the cartoon family the Simpsons.
The good news is our simplemindedness is not for completely lacking cognitive reasoning ability, it is lacking effort. Effort can be taught while cognitive reasoning can't be (meaning there's hope).
Besides, if all else fails, a lack of effort will make this go away on its own.

Here's the better news, if the public can so easily believe A, it means they can just easily be made to believe B. Tom Brady made a mistake, IMHO, by not saying, repeatedly, "I am innocent" from moment one. When he didn't do that he made this "poll" happen. I'm guessing he did this on the advice of his legal people. But take heart, the Wells report is factually flimsy. The simple minded just need a few, indisputable, easily digested bullet points to change their simpleminded views. Brady is a man of more than sufficient means to hire people who can create these rock solid bullet points. Will he is the question? Hard to believe he and Kraft will take this sitting down.

51% also voted for Obama a second term, what is your point?

Go away.

American's are ****ing idiots, so who cares?

 

[Gronkowski123]

this is the same country that elected obama twice.
so im not at all surprised.

This country went nuts for Kony 2012 and dumped ice on their heads on the internet. Nuff said.

I admit that lots of self interested people did the ice bucket challenge to gather attention to themselves - but at its core it was an extremely successful awareness and fund raising campaign for ALS.

Most Americans aren't very bright. This is hardly shocking.

Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public.

TODAY asked viewers whether they believed the New England Patriots should keep their NFL Super Bowl title after the release of the NFL's "Deflate-Gate" report. See video

Most Americans put the current disaster in the white house...

 

[SunshineSammy]

And W was elected. Twice. So there's that, too.

Actually the majority voted for Al Gore... so it confirms the point..

LMAO. I love this guy! How do you feel the about the 51% who voted for George W Bush's second term? That turned out well.
