The team must be accountable for their players, like a father is responsible for their child breaking something at the store or the police chief takes the fall for the vigilante police officer. If you make teams accountable for their players, they spend more effort making sure their players fall in line.
Personally I think they could have gotten more - I feel this amounts to a slap in the wrist. The league should never have allowed Brady to play in the SuperBowl in the midst of the cheating scandal. Seems unfair that we do nothing wrong and get a $30 million salary cap penalty the day before free agency that set us back 2-4 years.. And yet the Patriots get caught cheating with major scandals twice in one decade, and lying about it on national TV -- and only get $1 million dollar fine and a few game suspension. Their division sucks and they still have every shot at making the playoffs this year.
