They are willing to go to any length to justify it. There's a reason that another poster went on a series of insulting posts calling people idiots and such because deep down they know this is wrong but if they admit it, then they have to admit their team isn't a winner in a fair competition and their team doesn't believe they can win without cheating.

For example, how many Red Sox fans bash Alex Rodriguez for taking performance enhancing drugs yet cheer David Ortiz who has also taken peds.

Instead we get intellectually dishonest rants like the above and attempting to claim everybody does it and so it's fine that Tom Brady was fine with cheating.
