Integrity of the game. You can't have teams messing with the balls. Where do you draw the line after that? Let the teams modify their equipment too? You set a standard and enforce it. The league should have been monitoring the balls years ago. Dumb that it even got to this point.

Remember that time we all believe the NFL were honoring Vets out of sheer kindness?

Not surprising. The military advertises just like anyone else. Should we expect the league to just turn down the $$?

"But what makes this sort of thing so disingenuous is that fans assume NFL teams are thanking soldiers out of genuine appreciation for their service. In these cases, they were getting paid for it: it was advertising, disguised as gratitude. It's a lot like a news outlet running an ad as an article without any sort of disclaimer."

So these teams were happy to let their fans think they were "good guys" by not acknowledging that these tributes were paid advertising? Nice.

This pretty much sums it up.
