Outrage of the day

So Bill Belichick, the team's head coach, and the New England Patriots of the NFL are heavily fined and lose a draft pick for getting caught red-handed violating league policy--videotaping, on the sidelines during a game, the coaches' signals of another team. But no one is suspended. Coach Belichick certainly didn't get suspended.

Meanwhile, Wade Wilson, an assistant coach with the Dallas Cowboys (he no longer is an active player) is suspended by the league for FIVE GAMES for taking a prohibited substance (human growth hormones, which apparently he hoped would help with his diabetes).

What the Patriots were doing could affect the outcome of a game.
What Wilson did could not possibly affect the outcome of a game.
Yet Wilson is suspended, but nobody from the Patriots is.
Outrageous!
