I wonder if the American's with Disabilities Act applies to the NFL.

The Quarterback, Tom Brady may have a case for his need in a softer football to carry out his job.
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) (click here) prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities in employment, transportation, public accommodation, communications, and governmental activities. The ADA also establishes requirements for telecommunications relay services....
The reality of disabilities within professional football is so pervasive it may be the legal defense for such problems could be applied from the ADA.
At the age of 37 years old, Quarterback Brady may be at the pinnacle of his career but requires modification for his job description. Arthritis at such an early age could indicate the damaging impact of the profession.
The income alone that players earn indicate they need to define the modifications the NFL has to maintain in an acceptable standard to the sports fans. It appears Quarterback Brady has found an answer for those suffering from chronic injuries without demanding a "Nerf Ball" (click here) which would inhibit the distance throwing required by receivers and their demand for setting records within their chosen profession.
The NFL employed an investigation to the cheating of the Patriots. It's executive standard, if based in scientific findings, requires action against what is called 'cheating.' The investigation has to be upheld. If the Patriots owner can find fault with the investigation it needs to register an objection through established standards.
Does anyone expect the fans and other teams to believe Tom Brady didn't know the professional's football he held in his hands wasn't made soft for his job? Seriously, now. Tom Brady didn't recognize the softer inflation of the game football? How insulting is the Patriots going to get to the intelligence of everyone else watching this melodrama? The reason Tom Brady resorted to in such an infraction in order to carry out his job is as valid as the infraction itself. I doubt he would put so much at risk if he was able to achieve his performance within the rules.

New England Patriots (click here) quarterback Tom Brady said the scandal surrounding his underinflated footballs hasn't taken anything away from the team's Super Bowl win.
"Absolutely not," Brady
told a cheering crowd at Salem State University in Massachusetts, when
asked by sportscaster Jim Gray — at a speaking engagement that was
scheduled months before Wednesday's damning report came out.
