The Giants won. Justice has been done.
Had the Patriots won, I would have stopped watching football out of principle. I'm still pretty upset at the NFL for not properly punishing the Patriots after they were caught cheating, but Patriots winning the superbowl would have completely eclipsed their cheating scandal, and that's a shame. The Patriots got off light. A more proper punishment would have been to have made them ineligible for the playoffs, no matter how many games they won. You cheat, you don't make it to the superbowl. Period. The NFL seems to think small fines are adequate punishment. For an organization that makes hundred of millions every year, they are not. They shouldn't have made it to the superbowl this year, and I'm glad they lost. The superbowl trophy went to the team that truly deserved to win.
Congratulations, Giants.
