This.
The only person that I know of who carped about the legality of the formation in the Ravens game was Harbaugh, and since we can agree that "Harbaugh" is Serbo-Croatian for "douchenozzle," that can be chalked up to him being a fool and a bad sport. The consensus of the media I saw on the issue said that the Patriots did nothing wrong, that it was perfectly legal, that other teams had done the same thing, and good for the Patriots. There was no one in an official capacity, not a game official or a league official, who said anything to the contrary (that I'm aware of). So if there were isolated media voices who said anything (and I'm not even aware of anything), who gives a shit? There's not 100% unanimity on anything. Every few months, some guy pops up saying things like slavery was good for the slaves, the Holocaust never happened, etc.
And on the inflation thing, there is A (singular) report of an (anonymous) source saying that there MAY have been underinflated balls used, and a possible instance of one ball being taken out of play in the third quarter, with an acknowledgement that a) sometimes balls lose pressure, just because; b) there is a procedure for checking and safeguarding balls, so any tampering would have been difficult; c) everyone acknowledges that the game was a complete asskicking, and there's no way that a deflated ball made a difference?
And this is persecution?
Really??????
Dumb shit from fans of other teams on Facebook really gives you that much of an owie?
You guys need some real problems.
