The sin of the bounty system wasn't that it was fabricated it was that every team does it, but the saints got caught so the league came down on them ridiculously hard.
It's the same as the patriots video scandal a few years back, no coaches or players were infuriated about it because they all know it goes on all the time, but New England got caught so the league had to hammer them for it.
I am sure every team in the NFL had some type of bounty system and I know they all have rewards systems for stuff, it's the same as a sticker on a helmet in college. The saints got caught publicly so the league had to light them up.
The NFL is so hypocritical, they claim to care so much about player safety but they employ refs now that make the game more dangerous, and they don't care about player safety once those players careers are over. It's a meat factory.
