Twitter Reaction To Tom Brady’s Suspension Being Nullified In Federal Court

Everyone had an opinion when the Deflategate saga began after the 2014 AFC Championship Game, so naturally, there was a similar reaction when Tom Brady’s suspension was nullified.

U.S. District Court Judge Richard Berman overturned the New England Patriots quarterback’s four-game suspension Tuesday, citing that the NFL’s punishment didn’t fit the alleged crime of deflating footballs. And Twitter, of course, had a field day.

Most people, including Boston Celtics guard Evan Turner, tried to guess how Brady was feeling when the decision was announced.
