Did Tom Brady S Punishment Befit His Offense

• Was Tom Brady appropriately punished, or is it all a lot of hot air?

Rick Morrissey makes a strong case in Monday’s Sun-Times that justice in the NFL is skewed, the league coming down harder on the New England Patriots and quarterback Tom Brady for leaking air out of footballs than it has on “hulking players who have abused women.”

It probably suits the NFL’s purposes for its players to be seen as violent men playing a violent game. But rig the game and fans will find some other excuse to make bets and throw tailgate parties. Commissioner Roger Goodell is just doing his job.
