Dear Commissioner Goodell,

We, the signers of this petition, do hereby request that you do the only thing to keep the Integrity of the league we love in high standing. A 4 game suspension, a draft pick loss, and a million dollar fine is a joke. Major league baseball banned Pete Rose for gambling, and potentially altering the outcomes of games. Here you have a quarterback in Tom Brady deliberately cheating by altering the very BALL the game is played with. Anything less than a life time ban is making the league we love look like some sort of second rate wrestling. You may as well change the name to the NFEL "National Football Entertainment League".

We, the signers of this petition, also put you on notice that we are prepared to send this petition to the United States Congress and ask that Congressional Hearings be convened.

In closing, we love this game. We spend billions of dollars a year on merchandise and tickets, and our communities give up even more in tax incentives.

Anything less than a lifetime ban is insufficient.
