Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was suspended four games for his role in deflating footballs in the AFC title game. Additionally, New England was fined $1 million and docked two future draft picks.

Here’s how Twitter took to the news:

If Tom Brady's four-game suspension stands, he would be eligible to return against…the Indianapolis Colts.

After Tom Brady’s 4-game suspension, Patriots will play … Colts. Funny how that works. pic.twitter.com/ZMiRaD3TL3

Though Tom Brady wasn't fined, he is scheduled to make $8 million this season. Being suspended 4 games costs Brady about $2 million.

#Patriots owner Robert Kraft: “Tom Brady has our unconditional support. Our belief in him has not wavered.”

— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) May 12, 2015

Kraft: “Despite our conviction there was no tampering with footballs, it was our intention to accept any discipline levied by the league.”

Apparently "probably" deflating footballs is worse than DV…? https://t.co/oQdgh7tzVI

T. Brady suspended 4 games for violating integrity of the #NFL. T.Pryor suspended 5 games in NFL for Tattoos while in college. AMAZING!

Roger Goodell just crossed Robert Kraft.
The wrath will be fierce for the commissioner.
Never cross The Godfather, Mr. Goodell.

A lot of people will wrongly attack Goodell now but this suspension was made by Troy Vincent.

Vincent reiterates not only did Brady not cooperate fully, but they didn't necessarily believe his answers. pic.twitter.com/avTpKnKuOA

Mind-blowing to me that Ray Rice initially got two games and Tom Brady is going to get four games. Punishment doesn't fit the alleged crime.

4 games?? What a joke! Tom Brady's getting the same suspension as PED users… Crime does not match the punishment #lostmorerespectfortheNFL

A quarter of the season for Tom Brady after concussions/Ray Rice/body of work? Goodell has no soul/conscience/sense. Shameful

It is more probable than not that I'm generally aware the Tom Brady suspension makes the NFL look like a travelling carny show.

It's "probable" NFL screwed up Tom Brady's punishment. Of course for TV ratings they'll make sure he's back for Colts in W6.
