Sean Peyton was told by the NFL that he should have known if he didn’t he should have and suspended him a year with lost of pay.

The league found out he knew about the bounty scheme and tried to cover it up.

The practice was not uncommon throughout the NFL.

So you are equating taking some air out of a football to a team wide, locker room discussed plan to physically hurt, maim and destroy fellow NFL players careers for cash ?

The difference there being it’s one of Peyton’s coaches offering bounties in the locker room, where you would generally expect Peyton to be but apparently never was during the “important” parts. Game balls are generally left up to the QB to pick and manipulate preferably within the bounds of the rules but you generally don’t have the coach saying “I know you like them at 12.5 but I think you should inflate them to 13”. The balls are treated kind of like padding, very player preference.

Yeah, but that was the operation of his own team...this is the operation of the referees in their locker-room.
