I'm also not a Pats fan, but I do agree that it's been blown out of proportion. At the same time however, I think lots of people don't just blow it off as inconsequential, myself included. I feel like lots of people just don't care because it happened and there's nothing we can do about it. So why even think about it? It's out of our hands so IMO it seems to be a waste of time and mental energy to continue pondering it. Whether I agree or not, what's happened has happened and there's no changing it.
