Leaving Belichick out makes the HOF marginally less serious and the voters who voted to keep him out for political reasons should know that.
As someone who doesn't follow football - presuming he's eligible - what on earth is the reason for leaving Bill out?
I would've guessed he'd be a strong contender for GOAT pro football coach, or at least on the Mount Rushmore.
The voting is anonymous. Early reporting indicated Bill polian, football executive who ran team that competed against Belichick as a coordinator and HC, argued he should be forced to wait a year for cheating. He denied it, said he voted for him but then flipped and said he can't remember if he voted for him.
My guess is he did lobby against him but who knows. There is no objective argument against him.
