I think that Paul Brown was very smart and ingenious when he took footballs cut in half and put them in players jerseys. It was not against the rules. I mean I wouldn't have liked it if I was the coach of the opposing team; nevertheless, I would have felt a little dumb for not thinking about it first.
It could be argue that it goes against the integrity of the game, and it would probably be a totally different sport if each team in football wore jerseys like that. Paul Browns innovation was very questionable to the public, and rules were made how the uniform ought to be.
But the point I want to make is that it's all about strategies in sports. I don't think it was morally wrong, it was a strategy, an opportunity to win a game. In a competition, you have to be clever to find new ways to surprise your opponents and earn a victory.
