Tom Brady's Suspension Upheld

Right when the deflate gate scandal seemed over and done with, it pops back up into the news. This time the U.S. appeals court was at the forefront of the drama by siding with the NFL and upholding Tom Brady's original suspension of 4 games to start the season. I do not agree with the decision and I believe it is unfair to Tom, Patriot fans, and Patriot staff. For one, I feel that 4 games is entirely too long. Four games is the base suspension for players that break the actual law, not for players that are accused of cheating with no solid evidence to prove it. Greg Hardy assaulted and almost killed his girlfriend and he got a 4 game suspension, so basically domestic abuse and deflating balls is the same crime, right?. Secondly, this incident happened two seasons ago, it's time to just let it go. The slightly deflated balls didn't make any difference in that game or on the outcome of the season and people now really don't care about it. At this point it's just beating a dead horse. The NFL has the power to just end this and let one of their best players play and if they were smart they'd do just that.
