How many children did spygate influence to think cheating is ok?

My son asked me right before the Superbowl what was the problem with Belichick cheating. I was shocked to hear him explain his rational.

He goes on to say, "I mean Dad, he cheated, did not have to answer for his actions, he said when the reporters was asking him about it, he said 'Any questions about the game?' he's still winning all the games, probably got his fine paid by Mr. Kraft and his team is being looked at as the best team ever! It was worth it!"

I was instantly furious that this SOB (Belichick) made a child think, my child at that, that it was OK to cheat. This goes beyond NFL.

How are other children receiving this message? They got their just desserts with that loss.

Another thing, I heard some sportscaster say, "Everybody does it. It happens all the time." I cannot believe grown men say stupid crap like that! I mean MURDER happens all the time!

Point: just because everybody is doing wrong, doesn't mean it's OK to do wrong. It's really sad that some people would try to downplay this.

When you get caught cheating, everything that you've done, are doing and will do become suspect!
