Deflate This: Best Twitter Responses to NFL's DeflateGate Punishment

Monday night, the NFL dropped the hammer on the New England Patriots -- hard! In addition to suspending their MVP quarterback Tom Brady for his role in "DeflateGate," the Patriots were fined an unprecedented $1 million, and will forfeit a 2016 first round draft pick, and 2017 fourth round draft pick.  Brady's agent Don Yee, and Patriot owner Robert Kraft have admonished Roger Goodell for the harsh penalty, and it didn't take long for social media to weigh in.

Take a look at Twitter's best responses to how the NFL handled DeflateGate below

Um, Donald Trump's On Our Side? Maybe We ARE Wrong!?

They had no definitive proof against Tom Brady or #patriots. If Hillary doesn't have to produce Emails, why should Tom? Very unfair!
