Everyone cheats in sports in some way. In baseball, if the athlete’s aren’t hopped up on illegal steroids, I can guarantee you their water bottles are filled with excessive amounts of GNC creatine or over the counter testosterone boosters. The fact is that in order to succeed in today’s game, you have to be just as big and fast as the next man or woman. On many levels, I can respect that aspect of cheating.
However, I cannot respect the actions that demean the name of the game as a whole. Especially in the holy game of football. Many people “bend” the rules a little bit to defeat their opponents. This is taught at an early level . . . take for instance this little trick that a pee wee football coach had his team run:
I’ll admit, it’s a sweet play . . . it even helped win my college intramural football championship, but it tells the kids at the wrong age it’s completely fine to bend the rules.
Someone needs to tell the Patriots this cold hard fact. As revealed today, sources have discovered that the Patriots not only taped defensive signals, but offensive as well. This essentially gave them complete control over the game. Hats off to you Belichick, you have single handedly ruined the respect that anyone has for your organization. I guess you ran the “wrong ball” play one too many times as a youngster, eh?
