Deflategate Decision: Snoop Dogg Rants About Tom Brady Decision, Wants Le'Veon Bell Back [Watch]
In Snoop Dogg's mind, it's all clear-cut case of justice gone awry.
The hip-hop star insists he can't understand how New England Patriots star quarterback Tom Brady can now skate free from the "Deflategate" scandal while Le'Veon Bell of his beloved Pittsburgh Steelers is still facing a two-game suspension to start the season because he was caught smoking marijuana.
Initially, Brady was suspended for four games, but a federal judge this week erased the punishment on the grounds he was denied the chance to question a top league investigator and examine files. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has indicated the league plans to appeal.
"Do we get leveon bell 26 bac for game one or does this rule just apply to qbs?," the rapper posted on Instagram. "Nfl. Ain't right we not gone complain we gone ball steeler nation."
A proud and vocal advocate for legalizing marijuana use everywhere, Snoop probably wouldn't have a problem with anyone doing what Bell is being punished for doing. Add to that, the fact that Bell's teammate Martavis Bryant is also suspended for the first games of the season for the same reason and you can internalize why Snoop might be opposed to the marijuana rule where his favorite team is involved.
Over the course of his colorful career, the 43-year-old rapper has been known to attempt to bend a rule or two himself, most recently trying to board a plane in Italy carrying $422,000 in undeclared cash in his luggage.
That's far more than the amount allowed for transport in that country, resulting in some $205,000 of it being seized by authorities. The law was mandated as a way of trying to curb money laundering in that country.
Snoop was in that country touring and days before had been arrested on suspicion of using illegal drugs in Sweden. Later, he vowed to never return to that country.
