The Wells report reveals a a centuries old rule has been broken. What should be done about it?
The Wells report brought up a very important and damning piece of evidence. Jim McNally, the official's locker room attendant, apparently called himself "Deflator" in a single text message. Ted Wells further goes on to call this reference "a nickname". We know how air-tight and bullet-proof this report is, so we must assume more likely than not that McNally intended that Deflator become his new nickname. This is an incredibly serious charge!
In fact, the use of nicknames is centuries old and includes such notables as Alexander the Great, Richard the Lionhearted, Jack the Ripper, and The Rock.
