NFL's Suspension of Damontae Kazee Draws Criticism from Patrick Peterson and Tom Brady
Patrick Peterson, a teammate of Damontae Kazee, believes that the NFL's decision to suspend Kazee for the rest of the season is excessive. Peterson argues that the punishment does not fit the crime, especially considering that four out of the five fines Kazee received this year were overturned on appeal. Peterson also emphasizes that offenses have a responsibility to protect themselves and questions the league's expectations of defenders in split-second moments. He disagrees with the assessment that Kazee's hit was dirty and believes that the suspension may be reduced on appeal, as is often the case with NFL punishments.
