Patriots fans have started GoFundMe campaign to pay Deflategate fine

[Lady Steel]

he NFL handed the New England Patriots a hefty fine for Deflategate and fans are trying to help pay it.

The NFL handed out their sentence to the New England Patriots and the Deflategate scandal on Monday. Tom Brady has been suspended for the first four games of the 2015 NFL season, the Patriots will lose their 1st round pick in the 2016 NFL Draft and their 4th round pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, and the team has been fined $1 million.

Brady being suspended for his role in the controversy stemming from the AFC Championship Game is certainly the biggest news regarding the sentencing, but Patriots fans aren’t happy about any of it. In fact, some fans are so unhappy that they are starting a campaign to try and help the team pay the fine handed down by the league.

Michael J. Whitman from Spokane, WA started a fundraising campaign on GoFundMe to help raise the $1 million that the Patriots have to pay for Deflategate. Here’s Whitman’s description of the fundraiser:

I guess giving their hard earned money to charity instead is out of the question.

My God, Pats** fans are so freaking naive....

[86WARD]

Lol. Dumbest thing I've heard this month...

[ALLD]

I didn't know Brady was broke.

LOL, oh is that what you call it? You're being WAYYYYYYY too nice. LOL, bunch of tards. Brady and anyone associated with that whole organization wouldn't give a rat's ass about any of their fans if they were lying face down in a gutter.

[fansince'76]

I'd be more than happy to pitch in...

So stupid! But I guess this is what we should expect from that fan base.

[Lady Steel]

I just saw that some idiot gave $200, another $500. Dumbasses all!

[Count Steeler]

Even PT Barnum would be stunned.

[salamander]

I would expect nothing less from those "Mass-holes".

Looks like whoever started that GFM will make out like a bandit. I doubt seriously he'll donate it to the patriots.

Typical Cheats* copycatting/stealing the idea for the James Harrison fines in 2010. So unoriginal, you doofus Cheats* Fans*.

[Lady Steel]

I see they have raised $15,609 thus far. I noticed a lot of people are donating $12 because, you know, #12.

They ought to be fundraising for McNally and Whoeverski who lost their jobs and are banned from similar future jobs for doing what their quarterback asked of them.

More likely the average IQ of a ****s fan. Afterall these idiots didn't even know the shape of a football before the year 2000. And I would like to a big YOU STILL SUCK, ALWAYS HAVE AND ALWAYS WILL to Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. Never liked your acting, hated your movies, but the fact you morons support a lying/cheating "athlete" elevates your suckage to epic proportions.

THIS.

I heard about a guy who donated $5 just so that he could leave a comment telling these people how stupid they were.

[steelreserve]

lol, how stupid. Don't they get it? They're already paying for it! Where do they think the Patriots get all their money from in the first place?

No way. They got what they deserved. Nobody made them do anything. They made the decision to play fast and loose for spite and personal gain. Personally if I were Tom Shady I would have had these guys fired for intentionally over inflating the balls. McNally and Whatshisnameski can't be trusted to perform any duty with integrity or honesty so why should they be compensated?

Frum GAHD!

(And never mind the owner is richer than frigging Croesus anyway and probably gives more than $1 million a year away in tips)

So I take it $5 is the minimum donation allowed? Because this is all I'd be willing to donate...

Apparently $5 is the minimum amount for being allowed to leave a comment on the site. I don't know if that's the minimum donation or not.

To my mind, it's still too steep a price to point out the obvious only to be shouted down by accusations of being a "jealous hater."

great idea to fund money for a billionaire and a QB that has 100's of millions that's married to a wife that has triple that...idiots...
