In last year's miniseries about the O.J., the first time that all of the Dream Team lawyers assembled together in one conference room, the first thing that Roberto Shapiro said was "1st of all, does anyone here think O.J. did it?" None of the lawyers raised their hands.
When the verdict was read, plenty of O.J. supporters cheered. Those were people who just didn't want to admit that they supported a double-murderer. Similarly, Cheatriots supporters don't want to admit that they support a team of cheaters and frauds.
I get it, I used to root for Ben Johnson and even though there were plenty of allegations before the Olympics that Johnson was juiced, I didn't want to believe that (just like Cheatriots fans didn't want to believe that their hero Brady was a cheater). But Johnson tested positive for steroids after setting a world record in the 100-meter sprint final at the 1988 Olympics.
The evidence against Johnson was compelling. Likewise, the evidence against Brady was also (as Judge Denny Chin said on the record in open court) compelling. Like O.J. supporters, Cheatriots supporters don't want to admit that their hero is guilty.
