Israel Quoted on NFL Player Discipline

Partner Jon Israel was quoted in the NBC News article, “Hit to Brady’s Reputation Could be Worse Than League Discipline,” on May 6, 2015. The article discussed potential disciplinary actions the National Football League may impose on New England quarterback Tom Brady following a report of intentionally deflated footballs. Israel was quoted saying, “It appears (report author Ted Wells) was only acting as a fact finder and wasn’t going to make a credibility determination. It creates a lot of wiggle room for the commissioner on how he wants to decide here. But, it really hurts him from the PR perspective.”
