QUESTION: If Brady was non white would he have asterisks by his name because of deflategate? [View all]

QUESTION: If Brady was non white would he have asterisks by his name because of playing with deflated footballs?

I believe so

Deflated footballs gives the offense of any team an empirical advantage on turn over and catch ratio.

Without a deflated football there are more fumbles, something that happened to Patriots during the SB this time, and less catches... something else that we saw during this SB.

I've seen the way Bonds, Owens and other athletes of color being treated 10 times worse by the "liberal media" with less evidence of cheating than Brady who was given a four game suspension for IMPROPER actions taken during the "deflategate" investigation process.

I think we should call out this open and overt disparate treatment by US media often.

Your take?

P.S. No, I'm not a patriots fan... I dropped them from the list after deflate-gate ... which was the 2nd or 3rd time that team has been caught cheating during the Bilicheck (sp) error.
