On behalf of everyone at VonAllen Sports, its Subscribers, its Facebook Group members, and the fanbases of the Patriots, Saints, Falcons, and Seahawks, all who had draft picks taken from them for violating the "Integrity of the Game", we demand the Indianapolis Colts have their 2020 1st Round pick removed (minimum) for Tanking the 2011 NFL Season.

It has been confirmed, by their own player at the time Pat Mcaffee on ESPN, that the Colts Front Office was tanking in order to get Andrew Luck. He even went on to say the players "still played hard just so the fans could feel like they got their money's worth".

This is an admission of guilt that tanking was a strategic organizational decision.

Since 2011, 4 teams were punished for "Integrity of the Game" violations, most famously the Patriots for Deflategate and the Saints for Bountygate. Lesser known are the Falcons for Fake Crowd Noise in the Georgia dome and Seattle Seahawks for offseason violations. There have also been minor violations by other teams in regards to tampering, even though that is a very vague concept.

Ironically, the Colts have not been punished for their own Fake Crowd noise violations, violating the Rooney Rule by not interviewing other candidates for the Colts head coaching job in 2009, and by being part of the fraud that is Deflategate, which was confirmed as an invention by the Colts organization by their own former player D'Qwell Jackson who caught the infamous "Deflategate Ball", the one that started the whole thing, by saying "I knew nothing about any deflated football".

This flies in the face of all the reports by the Colts, the NFL and ESPN that "Jackson gave the ball to the Colts that something was wrong".

This is confirmation by the KEY WITNESS that this was manufactured by the Colts. This debacle cost the Patriots 2 draft picks, a 1st rounder and a  2nd rounder for something that could not even be proved.

Additionally, the most important figure in this being D'Qwell Jackson has also confirmed he was NEVER interviewed by the NFL investigation committee and that his football has yet to be returned.

Tanking an entire season away is the most egregious violation of the Integrity of the Game you can just about manage to do, and you have more proof that this occurred than Deflategate or Bountygate. You have actual admittance and confirmation.

Again, we demand the Colts organization be investigated for this with the same veracity you did against the Patriots and Saints and that they not only have the 1st round pick taken away that they earned to get Andrew Luck, but an additional 1st rounder taken away for cheating the fans and giving away free victories.

In the NFL where wins and losses are precious in a short 16 game season, teams were getting "free wins" against the Colts, and those wins may have effected other team's eligibility for the playoffs.

Thank you, Mr. Goodell, for considering our petition.
