Although the St. Louis Cardinals are under FBI investigation, New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick is catching a lot of flack
Tuesday morning we were treated to the news that the St. Louis Cardinals are under investigation for actually hacking the database of the Houston Astros for information on player personnel, as well as some other things. Yet another cheating scandal in a major sport.
Now as we all know, when it comes to cheating scandals in major sports, the New England Patriots are right at the forefront. Aside from the recent Deflategate issue, there was also the Spygate issue a few years ago, too. Of course, the spotlight for both of these was shining directly on head coach Bill Belichick, who. many see as the person that oversees the entire Patriots operation.
Well, it also just so happens that Belichick is a St. Louis Cardinals supporter, as he’s friends with former manager Tony LaRussa.
With that, you know the internet was not going to leave this alone:
Clearly Belichick is behind this. https://t.co/KifqFloo5k

#Cardinals infiltrated the #Astros network to steal all their data, but all they found was a sign that said "Belichick was here." #HackGate
