The NFL’s basic due process is the real issue in the DeflateGate controversy

Nobody has more effectively hammered the NFL than the Washington Post’s Sally Jenkins. What really bugs me is how Deflategate is being painted as just a bunch of crazy Patriots fans being the only ones defending Brady. In reality there are plenty of outlets across the country, including New York Times and Wired magazine, that see through the NFL’s shoddy process.

I think it just boils down to those who hate the Patriots are more blinded than those who love them. There are certainly those who would stick with Brady if he was caught with a pin in the ball himself, but there are plenty of neutral parties that side with the Patriots here as well.
