It’s always entertaining checking out social media reactions when a big story around the sports world breaks.
It’s even more entertaining when that story includes someone like New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, who was suspended four games by the NFL for his alleged involvement in the Deflategate scandal.
Just check out the #FreeBrady hashtag, as it’s quite awesome.
Tom Brady gets 4 game suspension for allegedly deflating footballs.
Ray Rice only got 2 for battering a woman?
Solid work NFL. #FreeBrady

One minor issue here. Rice was actually suspended indefinitely after the NFL “saw” the video of the former Baltimore Ravens running back hitting his now wife Janay Rice.
But I digress.
I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who seek to poison and destroy my QB #FreeBrady #FrameGate

Someone have a Pulp Fiction meme available?

Right. Cuz this would be the exact penalty for Josh McCown or Blayne Gabbert. #FreeBrady

Fitzy is apparently salty.

Didn’t realize the NFL had the ability to jail someone. No, there aren’t any Aaron Hernandez jokes here.

We knew that one was coming.

No. Just no.
There's actually a #FreeBrady hashtag. There are some Pats fans out there barely hanging onto their sanity… the rest already lost it. lol

Okay, that’s good.
However, the best thing from Monday HAS to be the GoFundMe account that a Patriots fan set up to help the team pay the $1 million fine the NFL levied against it.
No. Seriously.
Sadly, four people have donated a total of $40.00 to the fund.
