11. Just another sign the NFL is horribly corrupt

The teams openly cheat their own rules and each other. The fines for doing so are random and often insanely light. Look at Denver's salary cap issue and the Falcons pipping noise for proof of that. The brain damage issue is sad and very real. The treatment of Seau family is disgusting. The PED use is off the charts. While in other American sports like MLB these issues would create congressional hearings, in the NFL it causes a stir due to fans being pissed off their favorite player is slightly inconvenienced because of cheating, getting arrested, taking PEDs. The league is bloated and its time to ignore it. There's other sports out there and frankly these days I'm sick of the whole NFL. Brady's whole Nixon like attitude is a symptom of the whole sport. It's got ugly out there and I'm done with it.
