Tom Brady
An
Appeals Court in America has rejected the appeal of New
England Patriots football star, Tom Brady, who was
handed a 4-game suspension over a scheme to deflate
footballs to make them easier to catch and throw. It created
an undue advantage in play on the grid iron. Brady sued and
fawning judge, Richard M. Berman,
inappropriately tossed out the suspension. An appeals court
reinstated it. Brady appealed the decision regarding the
reinstatement of the 4-game suspension, but the appeals
court has rejected it this week.
The final legal rung Brady can appeal this
matter to is the
U.S. Supreme Court.
Brady
signed legally binding contracts with the New England
Patriots and by default the NFL. This meant he agreed to
abide by league rules and procedures. This was an internal
matter at the NFL. It did not belong in the court system.
However, Brady brought it there. No one deprived Brady of
his rights. The NFL has treated Brady and others in the
league quite well. I can't imagine the NFL is happy at being
sued by someone they went to great lengths to please.
The new
NFL season begins on September 11th, 2016 and Brady's backup
quarterback, Jimmy Garoppolo, is set to take his place
during the 4-game suspension.

panel said that NFL commissioner Roger Goodell was within
his powers when he suspended the star quarterback four games
for his role in a scheme to doctor the footballs used in a
Jan. 18, 2015, playoff game...
