What does the Elliott case have to do with the Brady case? It's 2 different un-related cases, just like the O.J. case and the Aaron Hernandez case were 2 different un-related cases.
In Brady's case, it was an integrity of the competition violation and the offender was not only caught red-handed but also tried to obstruct the investigation. In Elliott's case, the allegations are player misconduct that has nothing to do with integrity of the competition.
You don't see the similarity between the two? Both suspended for an excessive amount of games after cherry picking the evidence that makes them look guilty but ignoring everything that exonerates them?
1st, in Brady's case, the NFL didn't ignore the arguments from Brady's lawyers trying to exonerate him. On the contrary, it was addressed and refuted. Brady's lawyers tried to exonerate Brady by arguing that the deflation in the footballs was caused entirely by weather. Professor Marlow (a Physics professor and former Chairman of the Department of Physics at Princeton University) addressed that argument and refuted it by confirming that the deflation in the Patriots footballs couldn't have been caused entirely by weather and had to be a combination of weather AND human tampering.
2nd, in Brady's case, the punishment wasn't excessive at all. On the contrary, the punishment was much too lenient. A 4-game suspension in the regular season for cheating in a postseason game to advance to the Super Bowl is nothing more than a slap on the wrist.
When the NBA determined that Draymond Green had committed a flagrant foul in Game 4 of the 2016 NBA Finals, they didn't say "Well, this is the NBA Finals so we shouldn't suspend him during the NBA Finals. We'll suspend him at the beginning of the next regular season instead." The NBA suspended him for the very next game - Game 5 of the NBA Finals.
Brady got caught cheating in the AFC Championship Game to advance to the Super Bowl. He should've been suspended for the next game, which was the Super Bowl. A 4-game suspension in the regular season for cheating in a postseason game to advance to the Super Bowl is nothing more than a slap on the wrist.
Talk about being a hypocrite! We all know that you hate the Cowboys so you're glad that Zeke got suspended for 6 games. But you're pretending to be outraged by this so that you can once again complain that Brady was treated unfairly (even though he wasn't treated unfairly). That's YOUR agenda.
