There's so many holes in Chin and Parkers ruling. Even Chin said Brady's punishment was "draconian". Although Chin and Parker commented in open court about Brady's guilt or innocence their ruling was based on whether Goodell acted within his power under the CBA and was fair in his punishment of Brady.
On that we will never agree.
"In a dissent, Chief Judge Robert A. Katzmann said that Goodell had overstepped his role as arbitrator by changing his reason for penalizing Brady after he had heard the quarterback’s appeal. Initially, Goodell suspended Brady for his role in the plot to deflate footballs, then argued that Brady had obstructed the league’s investigation of the incident by destroying his cellphone, which might have contained messages between Brady and members of the Patriots’ staff."
"By some measures, the case has done nothing to dent Brady’s popularity, or the country’s fascination with one of the sport’s biggest stars. On Monday, the players’ association said that licensed merchandise with Brady’s name on it was the best-selling among all players last season, topping Peyton Manning, Russell Wilson and other popular players."
