Tom Brady suspension overturned: Twitter reacts

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady can play Week 1 after federal judge Richard Berman overturned his four-game Deflategate suspension.

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady can play Week 1 after federal judge Richard Berman overturned his four-game Deflategate suspension in announcement on Thursday.

The NFL says it will appeal the decision but will not seek a stay of the order. Thursday’s developments mark the biggest news in the Deflategate saga since Brady was initially suspended on May 11.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell upheld the suspension on July 28, and since then, both Brady and the league filed lawsuits in federal court. Judge Berman pushed the sides to consider a settlement, but that had not happened by Monday; the league never made Brady a formal settlement offer, the New York Daily News reported.

So now Brady can play. Predictably, social media responded in kind on Thursday morning.

Tom Brady may be the only person who could win versus the NFL in court. Those damn ball boys messing with PSI for their own personal gain 😒

I learned today that, sometimes, a poorly planned and executed sting operation/witch hunt/smear campaign does NOT hold up in federal court.

From day 1 Tom made it clear there would NEVER be a 'deal', love that he stood by his principles/integrity, and won. Now? GO STEELERS!
