I have posited this in response to another thread but I think it deserves its own conversation. It seems that some posters seem to think that because everyone deflates balls then the Patriots shouldn't be punished.
If we take that line of reasoning to its logical extreme, should we never punish a player who fails a drug test because plenty of other players fail as well and not everyone is caught?
What about offensive holding? Should that flag simply never be thrown again as a ref can find it on practically every play if he wanted to. Should offensive linemen simply be allowed to hold on every play even though it is clearly against the rules?
