The Patriots are currently under investigation by the NFL after being accused of using deflated footballs in order to win the championship game against the Indianapolis Colts, where they won 45-7. If they weren't up to standard, or were altered by the team, it can lead to fines or draft picks being lost. According to some sources, deflated footballs are easier to throw and catch, giving the team an unfair advantage.
I normally don't follow sports, but both sides of this story is too ridiculous not to mention. On one side, you have a team so desperate to win that they're willing to resort to cheating (which the Patriots have done before). On the other hand, there are people so mad the Colts lost that they would accuse the other team of cheating.
Things like this is why I don't follow sports; people obsess too much over these games and their teams, in my opinion.
Many people get too passionate over a lot of things. People riot all the time for things that are not related to sports. Those people don't get called obsessive why do sports fans? The colts fans have good reasoning for accusing the patriots of doing this. The patriots have been known to do whatever possible to win whether that is using a deflated ball, video taping other teams, or using formations that are barely legal. I personally hate the patriots and i hope they get fined and lose draft picks for what they did. I firmly believe that they did cheat because they have done it before. This also makes me wonder if they did anything to rig the ravens game this postseason to their favor. GO SEAHAWKS!!!!!
