Message: [QUOTE="Clintos, post: 2995762, member: 2003"] It just gets old - it's the first thing everyone goes to. It's old. People need to move on. I know I quoted your post, but I wasn't actually aiming that at you, so please don't feel like I was attacking you or anything. It was more a general statement made in frustration. Bellamy is a good example. You're right - I don't believe I have ever chastised anyone for calling him a cheat. I also happily remind my Storm mate of it every chance I get. That said, I also don't think what the Storm did, and what the Pats did are on the same level. Systematic rorting of a salary cap to the extent the Storm did is much worse than filming practice sessions - particularly given it's well documented that a lot of teams used the same tricks and it was just the Pats that were the unlucky ones that got caught. My issue is not that people are critical of his past cheating, it's that it's literally the first thing that is brought up as a way to diminish current successes. The logic being that they cheat every year etc. Hatred of another team is a normal thing, but you can hate a team and not focus on something from 12 years ago. I hate the Jets and the Giants - but I hate them because they are rivals, and the Giants keep beating us in Super Bowls. [/QUOTE]
