Yea but the thing is, every team in the league was doing “bounties on opposing players” for years and years. Then, when the headlines about CTE related (football) injuries became a big deal, and the league was worried about lawsuits, they finally started coming down hard on teams/players for bounties. When the Saints were penalized, there were other teams still doing (permitting) the same thing. More than a few players came out and said so. But in the end, Roger Goodall chose to make Sean Payton his big scapegoat. Just saying, not that it was alright, but if you want to be fair about it, if the league had chosen to they could have penalized a lot more teams and players. The evidence was everywhere.
