The NFL handed the New England Patriots a hefty $1 million fine after the DeflateGate investigation. The fine is the most handed to a team in NFL history. Many Patriots fans were upset about the punishment which includes losing their 1st round pick in the 2016 draft, 4th round pick in the 2017 draft, and a four-game suspension for quarterback Tom Brady in addition to the team fine of $1 million. Citing that the fine is BS because it’s based on “circumstantial evidence”, fans decided to raise money to help pay it off.
Michael J Whitman of Spokane, Washington started a GoFundMe to help pay the fine. Here’s his description of the fundraiser.
We obviously know we won’t reach One Million Dollars, however we do believe the fine is bulls**t and want to help anyway we can. So whatever is donated will be donated to the New England Patriots in help with the fine!
As we venture with this, we will do frequent updates to show progression of this! If enough is made to make the travel, we will fly down there (on our own expenses) and deliver a check in person!
Regular everyday people chipping in to help a billionaire owner pay a $1 million fine. Hey whatever makes you feel better…
As I’m writing this post, they’ve raised over $4,000 so far.
