Tom Brady is a popular player, therefore he must be defended and the system attacked, I have said that all along. So we don't condone cheating under any circumstances when we're talking about an unpopular player, but it's somehow OK once a popular "baby dolphin" gets snared in the fishing net.

I don't entirely agree with the Brandon Marshall Theory that it's all about race, because in baseball they would have attacked the system just as virulently if Derek Jeter was ever snared in the net and I think they do the same for say a Russell Wilson. But I understand the sentiment.  It's more about popularity than race, but mainstream popularity is skewed somewhat by race.
