…or not. If you needed another reason to be disgusted with professional sports, enter Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots. A personal fine of $500k, a team fine of $250k, and the loss of first round pick and he hardly seems contrite. Kind of a "yeah, I did it, you caught me, here’s the dough, problem solved" attitude. I always thought things like the coach covering his mouth with the play card was a bit of overkill. Now I know better. Video taping play calls is pretty egregious.
The Patriots have had a heck of a run and it brings into question how they got it. I’m all for fierce competition, but there are ethical lines as well as legal ones. Win based on your brilliance, talent around you, and a bit of luck. Maybe it’s the sweatshirts…
