The Patriots cheating again

[Securb]

First Spikes last week and now this. 

The Patriots have prevented cornerback Malcolm Butler from voluntarily participating in three weeks of voluntary practices because he missed the first day of voluntary OTA sessions, because he involuntarily missed a flight. And that could be a problem for the Patriots.


According to Albert Breer of NFL Media, the NFL Players Association is investigating whether the team’s decision to keep Butler out of voluntary practices because he missed one of them violates the Collective Bargaining Agreement.

Article 21, Section 5(a) of the CBA states: “No Club official may indicate to a player that the Club’s offseason workout program or classroom instruction is not voluntary (or that a player’s failure to participate in a workout program or classroom instruction will result in the player’s failure to make the Club or result in any other adverse consequences affecting his working conditions).”
