1st, no refs don't decide the rules. The rulebook defines the rules. Sometimes a player commits offensive holding and doesn't get flagged. That doesn't mean he didn't commit offensive holding. That just means the refs missed the call. 2nd, the NFL decided Brady's actions weren't legitimate. That's why Brady was suspended for 4 games and the Patriots were fined $1 million and had draft picks taken away. The NFL didn't take the titles away just like MLB didn't take the home run records away, but everyone knows Brady's championships are as tainted by cheating as the MLB home run records re tainted by steroids use. NFL decided Brady committed an act worth suspending... but not retracting the win/title. It was bad, but not that bad is their judgement. Tainted like terroir baseball records in your eyes, but they’re perfectly fine with letting it go. NFL says brady’s Actions deserve a medium suspension but is otherwise acceptable. If it wasn’t, they wouldn’t have accepted it. They suspended Brady because Brady cheated. But NFL didn't retract the titles, just like MLB didn't retract the home run records set by steroids use, because they can't go back and change past games. But everyone knows that the MLB home run records were set by steroids use and everyone knows that Tom Brady won his titles by cheating. And that's what history will remember. It's been a century since the Black Sox Scandal, but Shoeless Joe Jackson is still most remembered in history for being part of the Black Sox Scandal. And a century from now, Tom Brady will be most remembered for being the biggest cheater and fraud in NFL history.
