Chapter 1229 Shouldering heavy responsibilities
In a vast and vast way, the public opinion storm formed by social network traffic surrounded New England patriots in just a few hours.
It doesn't need to be smart or professional to deeply feel that the New England Patriots are indeed in a bad situation this time.
However, traffic is just traffic and is not enough to really cause damage. In the final analysis, it still needs to be based on the actions of the alliance-
The last time the "deflation valve" was a shame, the alliance was very embarrassed, and the investigation report that was not painful and vague was simply a slap in the face.
So, what about this time?
Can the alliance really become tough in the midst of interest games and power traction?
Then, Goodell made his debut.
On Monday morning, at exactly 9:00, eleven hours before the night game started, the NFL held an official press conference and Goodell announced the league's decision.
"...The incident is still under a comprehensive investigation. The alliance hopes to restore the truth, miss any violations, and refuses any acts of tolerating and raising rape... The subsequent decision will be discussed with the in-depth investigation... But based on the existing evidence, the alliance Already realized the severity of the situation..."
Bar, bar.
All real insiders can appreciate it. Goodell's meaning is very simple: don't be impatient, the alliance will definitely punish it severely, but we need further investigation and further weighing-
In other words, continue to play.
The game between the league and the New England Patriots has long been familiar with fans in the past twenty years, and Craft is the one who can compete with Goodell.
But now, the league will give the first step to calm public opinion. Fans can temporarily shut up and pay attention to the regular season, and not be led by the nose.
So, what about the punishment?
One is the matter of Gillette Stadium, and the other is the matter of Cincinnati Tigers, and two crimes are punished.
Finally, the league fined Bilicek personally $750,000 and the New England Patriots two million.
Whether the former or the latter, this is the worst fine in the league ever, for individuals and teams, both of which broke... The league's highest against the New England Patriots and Bilicherk in 2007 Ticket.
Moreover, the league said the investigation will continue, and they will decide whether to issue a subsequent ban and a punishment for depriving the draft pick.
Netizen: That’s it?
The momentum is so great that the punishment is to sprinkle water?
What about $750,000 or $2 million, is it just a hair for them, okay? They don't notice the harm at all.
Where does it feel any blow?
The social network public opinion storm was so powerful that it created such a momentum, but Goodell only issued such a foolish ticket?
It can be seen at a glance that the league is trying to appease the fans, not targeting the New England Patriots, but spending time controlling public opinion.
This...hehe.
But calm down and think about it seriously, they shouldn't be surprised, aren't they?
The NFL does have limited power, and they have a mutual restraint and cooperative relationship with these professional teams. The bosses of those teams are both wealthy super tycoons, and they are not afraid of Goodell at all.
In the NFL, there are two most severe punishment methods in the league:
One is to deprive the draft pick of the next year, which directly hits the team's future competitiveness and reconstruction ability. In 2007, the New England Patriots' "spy gate" was deprived of the draft pick of the next year.
One is to confiscate the competition results and directly judge the loss. However, although this is a means of punishment officially stipulated by the alliance, it has not been used for half a century and is just a deterrent. In addition, the alliance also has a punishment method. It is difficult to say whether it is strict or not, but it does hurt the bones.
At the end of 2017, Carolina Panthers boss Jerry Richardson was revealed that he not only publicly bullied the workplace in the team, treating female employees as second-class citizens, but also directly harassed them. The series of evidence is conclusive; and racist remarks have been made on the team many times.
Things are fermenting and spreading rapidly, becoming more and more intense.
Under public pressure, the league launched an investigation and put pressure on Richardson. In the end, Richardson announced the sale of the team and left the league.
Yes, according to regulations, the league has the power to require the boss to force the sale of the team.
However, strictly speaking, the alliance has never used such power so far. Even in Richardson's situation, the alliance has only continued to put pressure on it and has not been punished publicly; Richardson is under the pressure of internal and external troubles of public opinion. Those who sell teams under the sale are not punishable.
In other words, the league is just an organization that brings professional teams together, and their punishments are hard to really hurt the team.
What's more, is it a team like the New England Patriots with big trees, deep roots and lush branches and leaves?
There is a reason behind the fact that New England can become a public enemy in North America but always stand firm.
After figuring this out, netizens were collectively depressed—
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
So, what to do? Is there no better way to directly harm the New England Patriots?
Wait, why didn't there?
The answer is far away in the sky and near in front of you:
Chief of Kansas!
Opportunity, isn’t this delivered to your door?
Solve the problem of competitive sports in the form of competitive sports. Although the Kansas Chief is a target that everyone is eager to defeat this season, and can be called the new "public enemy of the league", no one wants to see the Kansas Chief complete the feat of three consecutive championships to establish a new dynasty; At this moment, everyone is a Chiefs fan, and there is only one idea and one goal in my mind.
roar! Roar roar roar!
The heat waves surged towards the Kansas Chiefs in a mighty and vigorous manner.
It is rare to see that the entire league is standing behind them, becoming the most loyal and determined Kansas Chiefs fan at this moment.
Just like New York.
"Defeat the beat!"
People shouted, at this moment, temporarily put aside personal grudges, temporarily put aside their personal emotions, put all jealousy and envy, and hope that the Kansas Chief can teach the New England Patriots a lesson with a victory and let people again Believe:
Justice will eventually exist.
Even a New England Patriot who is highly valued as a high-ranking and high-powered existence can still not escape the constraints and punishments of the law of conservation of the universe.
An unprecedented and unprecedented fan desire to see the New England Patriots lose more than ever.
Calm down and look back on the past three seasons, so who is more suitable than the Kansas Chiefs?
Or maybe it’s more accurate, who is more suitable than Li Wei?
"Rookie VS Goat", from the moment Levi landed in the NFL, this grudge has begun. At the end of countless episodes and events, the power of the universe guides them to the game in front of them. Witness the moment when the old and new alternate between kings.
"The waves in the Yangtze River push forward the waves in the front, and the waves in the front die on the beach."
The hope and heavy responsibility of the alliance inside and outside fell heavily on Li Wei's shoulders.
"Defeat the beat!"
