Did she cheat, or no?
Betty Cantrell was crowned Miss America on Sunday, Sept. 13, and whereas she was excited, the peoples response on the Internet was not as enthusiastic. Cantrell answer to the subject about Tom Brady’s Deflategate indignity made headlines. She stated that the MVP cheated.
Inside Atlantic City’s Boardwalk Hall, Cantrell was asked if she thought Brady should ultimately be held responsible for deflating footballs similar to other New England Patriots.
Her response to this question seems to have put people on the defensive. “Did he cheat? That’s a really good question, I’m not sure,” Cantrell, replied. “I think I’d have to be there to see the ball and to feel it to make sure if it was deflated or not deflated, but if there was any question there then yes, I think he cheated. If there was any question to be had I think that he definitely cheated and he should have been suspended for that. That’s not fair.”
Chris Harrison the host of Miss America 2016 looked slightly irritated by Cantrell’s response to this question, and for the most part he was not the only one that reacted this way.
Miss Georgia tells judges she thinks Tom Brady should be suspended. Then becomes Miss America. — ESPN (@espn) September 14, 2015
Being so dumb that you think anyone accused is therefore guilty actually reflects much of the populace. So Go Miss America! — Dan Wetzel (@DanWetzel) September 14, 2015
Deflate-gate girl? Really? The one who tripped twice during evening gowns and absolutely mutilated her interview question? — Kelsey Arnold (@kelseyarnold93) September 14, 2015
Did Miss America really just say she’d have to feel the ball to know if Brady cheated or not….— Mikala Childs (@mikalachildss) September 14, 2015
