The league has issued a tepid statement about fans lacking class for "booing" some members of the MVP class in the pre-game celebration. Notable among those booed are of course P*ts Tom Brady and Deion Branch.
The thing is, people paid a great deal of money for those tickets. Those weren't $100 or $200 tickets. They certainly weren't $50 tickets. Those were upwards of $2000 tickets. And it wasn't a small contingency of the crowd that voiced their dissatisfaction toward Brady and Branch. It was an overwhelming, obvious booing. This makes it pretty clear on a worldwide stage what everyone thinks of the P*triots legacy.
Now honestly, when it happened, as you can imagine, I was giddy with joy. However this morning I actually took pause for a minute to think about Branch. I wondered fleetingly what it must have been like for him, a simple receiver who'd actually gone to other teams and even returned to the P*ts and probably been one of those guys who just ran routes and caught balls. He probably doesn't know very much at all about the true extent of the P*ts cheating (although who the **** knows how deep it goes.)
So there's Branch, up there to be honored as an MVP at Superbowl 50, getting Booed, by thousands of people before a hundred million viewers on television. Seriously, that's got to sting somewhere in the back of your mind. If you've got any conscious at all, that's got to get you thinking. "****. Really?"
And that's what I've been saying all along. The fallout for the P*ts cheating is that the rest of the team will always be cheated of the respect they deserve. Despite the fact that they have all been good, even great athletes, they will always be tied to the scandals and the stain of the P*ts and their cheating. And we saw that on Sunday. They were booed by an entire stadium on the largest televised event in the world.
Ponder on THAT NFL. This is what you've allowed to fester.
