^^^^"... you see, the Patriots’ coach, Bill Belichick, is a mastermind, quarterback Tom Brady is superhuman and the entire organization is viewed as a model of professional football perfection.
Outside New England, there’s far more skepticism. The Patriots are considered unrepentant cheaters, caught (and punished) more than once for their football crimes. Yet they keep winning, with a roster full of retreads and spare parts. Could they be skirting the rules even today, in new or undetected ways? Many football fans — nearly all of them outside New England — would not be surprised.
David DeSteno has a special vantage point for observing public response to the Patriots. He is a professor of psychology in Patriots country, at Northeastern University, in Boston, and he was a co-author of the study mentioned above. DeSteno is not a football fan, but he is an expert on the psychology of emotion, hypocrisy and moral judgment. He said you can’t really blame the Patriots faithful for believing their team can do no wrong, and has done no wrong, even though it was caught cheating by the N.F.L.
Just being a part of a group, any group, is enough to excuse moral transgressions because in some way, you’re benefiting from it. Your moral compass shifts.”
Why Do Fans Excuse the Patriots’ Cheating Past?
Some say jealousy, some say they never cheated, some do not care.
The fact is Tom Brady who agreed to the latest CBA gave full authority for the NFL to investigate him ,judge him and levy a penalty if they found he warranted a punishment. He did and was suspended. The Patriots have been caught cheating yet they are vaunted as a super heroic team.
The NFL puts out a product every year to make it the most appealing to the widest range of audience.
The statement "Your moral compass shifts" is most telling and in some ways hilarious. Most people, if not all, were aghast when I asked them if they would trust or respect a co-worker or significant other who lied, cheated or destroyed evidence but when I place Tom Brady's name or the Patriots they do their best to rationalize the behavior.![]()

.Better question is WHY do they ignore that he is not even one of the top 20 best modern day quarterbacks in the superbowl era let alone the best of all time?
what backs it up that he is not even one of the top 20 best of all time in the superbowl era is they ignore in the era of montana and bradshaw the only two legit quarterbacks that have won four superbowls,is that in that day and age players could pretty much mug the receivers where now you cant even hardly touch them PLUS they were allowed to throw you around like a rag doll back in those days,now they got skirts on them,they get a 15 yard penalty for the slighest hit on them.Brady would be a baby in that era.
Matter of fact thew NFL even came up with more rules to protect the quarterback after Brady went and whined to Roger Goodel about getting hit in the knee and taken out for a whole season.Just like the crybaby he is,he goes and whines to goodel and since goodel has his head up Krafts ass,he bowed down to Bradys wishs.what a wuss.
montana and bradshaw could play in ANY era of the NFL where Brady would never have lasted more than a couple of years in the NFL yet he is somehow the greatest?
they always dismiss that fact.No surprise its not getting any relies since the truth hurts.
they just want to kiss the ass of a thread made by WRONGwinger that props him up as the greatest and ignores these pesky facts.lol![]()
