Multiple Choice
Matt Walsh, a golf pro from Hawaii, was a video operator for the New England Patriots from 1999-2002. Walsh says that he taped the Patriots' opponents' signals, information that he says was then used by the Patriots when they next met that team. If you know the signals, then you know what defense has planned. Offense is then a tad easier. Some quotes emerged from the situation: From Patriots' coach, Bill Belichick, "I misinterpreted the rules." From Jacksonville Coach Jack Del Rio on the videotaping, " I think all teams do that. That's been going on forever." From Matt Walsh, "I had always been a big Patriots fan. I wasn't going to question what they wanted me to do." From Pennsylvania Senator Arlen Specter, "If you can cheat in the NFL, you can cheat in college, you can cheat in high school, you can cheat on your grade-school math test. There's no limit as to what you can do. I think they owe the public a lot more candor and a lot more credibility." What rationalization did Matt Walsh follow?
A) "I was just following orders."
B) "Everybody does it."
C) "That's the way it has always been done."
D) All of the above
