Bill: But you can't hold a whole team responsible for the behavior of a few, sick twisted individuals. For if you do, then shouldn't we blame the entire NFL? And if the whole NFL is guilty, then isn't this an indictment of our sporting institutions in general? I put it to you, Goodell - isn't this an indictment of our entire American society? Well, you can do whatever you want to us, but we're not going to sit here and listen to you badmouth the United States of America. Gentlemen!
