There is a major problem surrounding Deflate gate in the NFL. After the New England Patriots Beat the Indianapolis Colts 45-7 in the AFC championship, Deflate gate  has been the headline of every sports topic. The Deflate gate has brought much unwanted attention to the Patriots for their use of deflated foot balls in the championship game. Shortly after accusations on the Patriots, the NFL began a full investigation on every aspect of Deflate gate. The problem with the deflated footballs is that it gave the Patriots an unfair advantage over the Colts.  In the harsh weather that night an under inflated football would allow the Patriots to make easier catches and fumble less. Most of the Patriots Points did come from running the football. However the Pats still would have won the game without their touchdowns from passing.
I do not believe that Tom Brady is guilty of the accusations from the Wells Report. I also do not think that he should be held responsible unless he was the one who physically deflated the footballs. Just because Brady had knowledge of the suspicious activity does not mean that he could have fixed it. There is also no way to tell that Tom Brady was the only one who had knowledge. There could have been several other employees who knew exactly what was going on. If Brady could have stopped it he would have. Another piece of information  that is missing is, who gave the order to have the balls deflated? That question should be answered before anything else.
There is no way that the punishment for Tom Brady is justifiable. Maybe the 1,000,000$ fine is enough for the patriots. Why would Tom Brady be the person getting suspended if there is no way to tell who else knew the disclosed information. The four game suspension could be a little bit of a force. It is not fair to have just one person held responsible when it might not have even been his fault. There should have to be definitive evidence that Tom Brady gave the instruction to deflate the footballs before he get suspended. If they can not determine that he told the ball boy to deflate the balls then there should be no suspension. When the balls were deflated there had to have been more than just a few people knowing that it had happened.
There are only a few solutions for this problem. The first is they have the footballs tested multiple times through out a game to make sure that there is no tampering at any point. The second is that They do not allow for the balls to be brought random places (like an employee bathroom) as seen i deflate gate. There should be more rules implicated to determine who is allowed to be in contact with the footballs. The problem for the Patriots is not that they cheated, but that they got caught. Every team in the National Football League ha cheated at one point or another. Of course team are going to cheat when there are Billions of dollars through out the league and all they have to do to get paid is win.
