The NFL announced Tuesday it has upheld its decision to suspend New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady for four games in the wake of the DeflateGate scandal.
Brady's players union has given its take on the ruling, and now his employer has chimed in. The Patriots released the following statement Tuesday evening:
"We are extremely disappointed in today’s ruling by Commissioner Goodell. We cannot comprehend the league’s position in this matter. Most would agree that the penalties levied originally were excessive and unprecedented, especially in light of the fact that the league has no hard evidence of wrongdoing. We continue to unequivocally believe in and support Tom Brady.
We also believe that the laws of science continue to underscore the folly of this entire ordeal. Given all of this, it is incomprehensible as to why the league is attempting to destroy the reputation of one of its greatest players and representatives."
