Opinon starting to shift
Going back to the thread topic, I think the article has the wrong approach. The injustice of the situation is not that "everyone was doing it," but that the team did not actually commit the worst of the actions they are accused of. Everyone has acknowledged a pay for performance system in the locker room, but the claims of bounties being placed on other players and a "pay to injure" scheme have not been supported and don't seem to have any evidence to back them up. That is what the real issue and message should be, that Goodell jumped to the wrong conclusions.
