While I wouldn't support the idea of injuring opponents on purpose, I'm surprised at the amount of votes for BountyGate. I think it's reprehensible, but it's about up there with SpyGate to me as far as being a real "crime" against league rules or competitive integrity. I'm open to being wrong...anyone wanna convince me?
LOL no I don't think they're on the same level morally at all.So you think taping other teams signals, which is allowed and every team does is the same as a team setting up a system to give a monetary award (which in itself is a side pool which is not allowed) to the players who try to deliberately injure opponents.
Yeah, your moral compass isnt too phucked up.
LOL no I don't think they're on the same level morally at all.
League rules wise...I think both were similar in that the punishments were way out of whack. SpyGate should have been zero punishment, BountyGate should have been big fines and no suspension.
Clearly the most heinous of crimes as life was lost.Uhh.. Rae Curruth?? Pretty hard to top that.
Fair enough, it kind of reads that way. I just meant they were the same in that they were equally NOT a thing to me in terms of competitive balance. As if there was team going "oh ****! we should have put a BOUNTY on Brett Favre and then we would have won!"Oh I read it as you thought they were the same.
The issue is that is was never really proven.Bountygate and it isn't even close. It's one thing to cheat the cap it's another to pay your players for injuring dudes.
Hmmm. As robertweathers noted the evidence was a bit dubious and such. But I guess there's a legit argument to be made that paying players extra for injuries IS a method of circumventing the salary cap in and of itself.Bountygate and it isn't even close. It's one thing to cheat the cap it's another to pay your players for injuring dudes.
