my opinion piece

On January 18, 2015 the New England Patriots played the Indinolappolas colts in the deciding factor in who would Advance into the Super Bowl. The Patriots ended up winning it 45 to 7, but during the start of the second half the referees replaced the 12 game balls, the balls happened to be under inflated and not legal to play with. The New England patriots were under investigation for cheating and were accused of having the game balls deflated. The patriots were punished with tom Brady being suspended 4 games and the team fined 1Million.

In my opinion I believe that the Patriots should have been punished with more penalties because they cheated on a game on witch the winner advanced to the super bowl. At the half the colts were only losing by 10 points, and plenty of time to catch up.
