As a NFL player, I'd always hear the old saying, "If you're not cheating, you're not trying." Quite unfortunate isnt it? Well, I do believe that's why they got caught and that statement was taken by the Patriots to heart. However, cheating is...

Who would have thought it would arrived at this? What's professional sports come to with cheating? Nba, MLB, and Hockey have been caught cheating and as a hobby that cheats now the NFL is joining the remainder of the professional sports leagues.

As a NFL player, I would always hear the old saying, "If you are not cheating, you are not trying". Pretty unfortunate isnt it? Well, I believe that is why they got caught and that statement was taken by the Patriots to heart. Unfortuitously, cheating is a lot compare medal of honor warfighter cheats more widespread in the NFL than fans realize.

When I played in the NFL, there were several groups that I played against that by "magic" did actually know what our plays were. There were groups that I played against where I would ask myself, "How in the world do they know what plays we're running?"

You should know that cheating runs rampant in the NFL and it is not just the Patriots that are cheating. Yes, they got caught because they made their cheating too obvious. But make no mistake about it, it's an undeniable fact that all NFL teams cheat to some extent.

In my own NFL career I was shown that a team has to do whatever it could do to get a benefit within the opposition, and that cheating is considered okay as long as you dont get caught. It's only a the main game. But in my heart I knew that cheating was wrong. As professional athletes and professional sports teams, we are supposed to be establishing one example of the best degree of sports. But we're perhaps not establishing a good example. We're perhaps not playing fair. Perhaps you could say cheating is honest because everyone is doing it but I do believe it's wrong. I really believe in fair competition and what's happening in professional activities with cheating is really a disgrace.

Another huge problem caused by professional teams cheating is that it teaches our kids that cheating is okay - as long as you dont get caught. As professional athletes and sports teams, we must set an illustration and teach children that cheating is wrong.

Cheating is just a black and white issue and there should be no gray areas. You can not say cheating is ok for some things but wrong for other things. Cheating is definitely wrong and it can not be accepted. Cheating features a snowball effect. Children learn that if they dont get caught, cheating is okay. So, after cheating several times on small things and perhaps not getting caught, they move up to cheating on larger things. That is if the real problems begin as adults and young ones do not comprehend the consequences for his or her actions, and by cheating they're being a dishonorable human being. You shouldn't be permitted to play, if you can't be trusted to play fair.

I believe that teams that cheat have to be punished and punished severely. Besides being fined and penalized with dropping draft choices. Your team should quickly lose the game too. Coaches found cheating should really be suspended without buy the season, if not dismissed. There's to be always a system in position where in fact the consequences of cheating are so severe that teams will not risk getting caught. It's unfortunate that it's to come to this but cheating cannot be accepted.
