No, it sucks because people are lazy and using "-gate" as a suffix to describe a scandal. It's lazy.
As for why your preferred team felt it needed to record the Bengals and the Browns... I don't know why they why they'd waste their time, I don't much care, and I already believed them to be cheaters, so it isn't like this changes anything.
Its weird... and actually a hair uncomfortable... that you think anyone gives even the slightest fkcu what you believe.
