Cheaters

Normally I frown on frivolous lawsuits but the overly litigious lawyers who are suing Bill Belichick might have a point.
The suit contends that Belichick should refund the ticket prices paid by everyone who went to a Jets-Patriots game at the Meadowlands while he was the coach of the Pats.
I agree that fans pay money for a ticket expecting that the game will be a fair and honest contest. Belichick's cheating violated that trust.
I'm not sure the standard of proof that would exist in a case like this but even though they can prove he cheated, I don't think they can prove how long it went on, or whether it had a large enough impact on the game to seriously alter the fairness.
