7:09 am
shoulders. what to do, if anything, about the alleged involvement of one ofits biggest stars. the nfl telling abc news they haven't determined a timetable for a decision yet. but many speculating one could come as early as this week. brady, who has been coy about the controversy -- >> i don't have really any reaction. >> reporter: -- was hit hard by the 243-page deflategate report released last week. stating sit more probable than not brady was at least generally aware of the up appropriate activities involving the release of air from patriots' game balls. the scandal transcending sports. >> he [ bleep ] knew. >> reporter: and drawing the ire of pundits. >> they need to suspend tom brady for a year. >> he's involved at a very intricate level. >> reporter: media outlets

7:11 am
ultimately i think a fine is significant enough. cheating is cheating. if you look what the new england pateriots allegedly did, it's a minor infraction. it doesn't impact the game the same way as p.e.d.s or stealing signals. they won the afc title game 45-7 not because of deflated footballs. >> the colts were asked after the game and when this whole thing came up they said the patriots were the better team here. that is one issue, yes. it didn't affect the outcome of the game. and yes, it is a minor infraction. a lot of parents watching saying cheating is cheating breaking the rules breaking the rules. if you don't have a penalty for that what does that say to -- a lot of parent who is are with their kids? >> it's the wrong message. no doubt about it. fair play is the most important thing.the xhirgs of the nfl, he normally wears two hats. he has to represent 32 owners in

7:13 am
>> reporter: her 15-year-old daughter, juliette has a tough time communicating. she's easily upset if she doesn't have hot food. she asked the flight attendant to provide a warm meal. >> no no no. we can't do that. >> reporter: first, she said they refuse period. >> i said maybe after she has a meltdown and is trying to crash and crying, then you'll help us. they said we'll make an emergency landing because of passenger with a behavior issue. >> reporter: you can see the family being asked to leave by a police officer. including juliette who appears calm as she gets up to leave. >> it was traumatic. >> reporter: united airlines saying the crew made the best decision for the safety and comfort of all customers. one passenger saying the girl could be a threat and she was howling. others say she was no more disruptive than a crying baby. and thought the emergency landing was extreme. this morning, donna says she

7:16 am
he flexes muscles with his wife smiling next to him. he says it was a natural reaction. not so natural for mom who said later she was still shaking. we all know every mom's reaction would be to duck and cover the child. the father is like i got this. the gm of the phillies said he was think of offering a deal to the guy. all right, now to the first lady, michelle obama, delivering a powerful commencement speech over the week end, and opening up to the pressures she felt as the first african-american first lady. >> michelle obama. >> reporter: the first lady uncensored. >> the road ahead is not going to be easy. it never is especially for folks like you and many. >> reporter: giving an inspiring and impassioned speech this weekend at tuskeegee university.
7:17 am
tackling everything from ferguson to baltimore to racism. >> while we've come so far, the truth is that -- those age-old problems are stubborn. and they haven't fully gone away. >> reporter: she says she was held to a different standard at the nation's first african-american first lady. >> cable mus referred to me as obama's baby mama. the first time on a magazine cover. it was a cartoon picture of me with a huge afro and machine gun. it knocked beback a bit. >> reporter: she called it noise. >> it did not define me. it didn't change who i was. it didn't hold me back. >> reporter: her advice ignore the noise and stay true to themselves. for "good morning america," cecilia vega abc news san francisco. >> see those young graduates to be able to hear a message like that from the first lady.
