Regardless of whether or not Payton and Loomis told Williams to ensure no illegal conduct was occurring (and this is form an internal source from the Saints organization mind you) they ultimately did not prevent the bounty program, or in this case, prevent the bounty program from continuing. This does not absolve them of guilt. If someone you're in charge of fucks up, deliberately or otherwise, it is ultimately your responsibility. Gregg Williams isn't a scapegoat here and I think you have misplaced the responsibility of the parties involved here.
