The New England Patriots have been docked two days of organized team activities (OTAs) after it was found that the organization violated offseason rules, according to ESPN. The specific violation was not reported.
OTAs are voluntary workouts that are held during the offseason. They are a chance for players to get together and start working on the upcoming season. The Patriots were scheduled to have 10 OTA dates, but they will now have to miss two of them.
The NFL has not released any details about the Patriots' violation. However, NFL fans are already speculating that the team cheated again. This is not the first time that the Patriots have been accused of cheating. In 2007, the team was caught filming opposing teams' defensive signals from the sidelines. The Patriots were fined $250,000 and lost their first-round draft pick.
In 2015, the Patriots were accused of deflating footballs during the AFC Championship Game. The Patriots were fined $1 million and Tom Brady was suspended for four games.
The Patriots have always denied any wrongdoing. However, the team's history of cheating has led to a lot of skepticism from NFL fans.
The loss of two OTA dates will not be a major setback for the Patriots. However, it is a reminder that the team is under a microscope. The Patriots will need to be careful not to give NFL fans any more reasons to believe that they are cheating.
NFL fans believe New England cheated again
NFL fans are not happy about the Patriots losing two OTA dates. Many fans believe that the team cheated again, and they are calling for the Patriots to be punished more severely.
"This is just another example of the Patriots getting away with cheating," said one fan. "They need to be held accountable for their actions."
Another fan said, "The Patriots are a disgrace to the NFL. They should be banned from the league."
The NFL has not announced any further punishment for the Patriots. However, it is clear that the team is under fire from fans and the media.
