Falcons owner Arthur Blank or president Rich McKay owe the Falcons fans some answers about this noise gate situation.
When was Roddy White fired?
How was the sound pumped into the stadium?
Why didn’t anyone notice the extra noise?
Did the culture of the organization create an environment that tacitly – directly or indirectly – encouraged White to fabricate the “stadium experience?”
Those are just a few of the very reasonable questions that the Atlanta Falcons fans, who are being asked to shovel over bushels of money for seats in the new stadium, deserve to have answered.
Also, it was peculiar that the Falcons stated that they would not appeal the league’s penalties. Perhaps, there was a negotiated settlement reached before the penalties were released. The penalties don’t seem all that “severe.”
The league helped the Falcons and the Browns out by not releasing the penalties last week when throngs of media were at the owners’ meeting to ask them questions.
A few days later, the league released the penalties and the Falcons have elected to take cover behind a strongly worded statement.
Just not sure what they are trying to hide from the public.
