Shenanigans is Called

The trade between the Typhoons and Pollution reeks of team stacking and collusion, and I am calling for a league vote to reverse the trade.
1) The Pollution is trading away perhaps the best RB in the league - Adrian Peterson - and getting Westbrook in return. Westbrook is out this week and on a bye next week, and has two broken ribs plus the ankle injury. Clearly, this isn't even close.
2) The Pollution is also trading away a second starting RB on a good offensive team, Michael Pittman. Since Selvin Young is out, Pittman's value is significant.
3) In return, the Typhoons are giving up a decent TE, a poor WR, and a poor QB - and therefore giving the Pollution their fourth quarterback. The Pollution aren't even playing their new QB, so it isn't about playing this week's matchups. How many QB's are needed? This trade clearly makes no sense except for team stacking.
4) The two team owners are real life brothers. I assert that since the Pollution is 1-4 and the Typhoons are 4-3, the two teams are colluding and stacking their talent onto one team.
There is a league ballot box posted and everyone is encouraged to vote.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought along these lines

I saw this trade at 2 AM and wanted to sleep on it before saying anything.
