Fans are still uproared about the lack of punishment the Commissioner imposed on the cheating Bill Belichick<\/strong>, and today, Wade Wilson<\/strong> comments on what he believes is a double standard. Wilson was recently suspended five games due to his use of HGH<\/strong> for his own personal use to help with his diabetic condition. Considering that Wilson was suspended five games and Belicheat was not even suspended is a farce and a great injustice; moreover, this may lead Wilson to appeal his lengthy suspension:<\/p>\n From ESPN: “I would say there is definitely a double standard being applied here,” Wilson said Friday when reached at his home near the team’s practice facility. “I don’t want to be seen as a crybaby or as someone questioning the commissioner’s decision, but I see some major inconsistencies here.<\/p>\n “To me, they’re holding the organization accountable instead of the person.”<\/p>\n “I don’t want to bash the commissioner, but I definitely think there are some inconsistencies here. Intent was a big issue in my defense. What their [Patriots] intent was, I don’t know. But I was just taking my punishment, and I guess what the commissioner does with Belichick is his business, but I think there are some inconsistencies here.”<\/p>\n “I did something wrong, but I did it only to benefit myself, not to gain a competitive advantage,” Wilson said. “I accepted my punishment and moved on, but this is kind of a different deal. The percentage of my salary that I was fined is substantially more than the percentage he was fined as far as I can tell. I mean, $500,000 is nothing to laugh at — but neither is $100,000. The punishment is definitely not the same in my opinion.<\/p>\n “I’m contemplating whether to write a letter because I accepted the punishment for my violation, didn’t appeal and went about my business. All I’m asking for is an explanation, and I know exactly what the commissioner is going to say because I’ve read his comments, but it might make me feel better.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n I’m with Wade Wilson 100%<\/strong>, in fact, I hope he does go ahead with an appeal, and Goodell better make the correct amendments to the suspension. Wilson makes some solid points and the punishment does not match in comparison to what Belichick did or has been doing for years.<\/p>\n
