Funerals are supposed to be a time for families to grieve not a media circus....
because it would be the right thing to do?

somebody call felger. he and he alone is the only one who knows if it was the right thing to do.
The patriots were an employer nothing more .
What makes it the right thing to do??
The Patriots had nothing to do with this... but confident that Mr. Kraft will express his condolences in another forum.
I know this whole AH is a touchy subject. I'm not judging the pats one way or other. That's on them not me.
But I can have a personal opinion & Yes, my personal opinion is that they should have sent someone low key, maybe a player or a front-office representative to personally give them their respect. Maybe they did and that is why I'm asking the question.
The Patriots express themselves as a classy organization and always trying to do the right thing. As much as you say the patriot's had nothing to do with the this & for the most part you are right, but the patriot's player (now ex) and brand are also caught in the middle of it, right or wrong. How the Patriots handle this whole AH situation moving forward will have a direct influence on their brand. That's why the NFL & Patriots want all AH's jerseys off the street. Do you think that has more to do with their brand or just the patriots trying to be classy?
The Patriots are either going to run away, deny, hide, evade and take no responsibility or they will try to turn this horrible/horrific crime(s) into something we all call learn from and somehow make something positive out of this, as hard as it may be...
The NFL & the NE Patriots are not like any employer (ie mcdonalds).The patriots were an employer nothing more .

They have personally drafted someone with character concerns coming out of college and some teams took AH off their draft boards because of it. Not only that they extended him with a 40M contract and gave him 9.5M upfront
When redsox GM, Epstien, wanting to sign carl crawford to a $160M contract, he hire a personal investigator to investigate before hand to ensure there were no off-field concerns.
If the Patriots did the same thing epstein did, they would know within a couple weeks of what this guy is all about. It was so blatant. even Matt Light knew what AH stood for.
Did the patriots know about AH shooting someone eye in florida in 2/13?
Did the patriots know about the gun incident at a RI nightclub earlier in 2103?
In my opinion, The Patriots did not due their due diligence.
It's pretty clear that the New England Patriots are cutting any ties to Ahern and therefore the murder. They are doing all they can to not be involved in anything related to the murder. I don't think joining the funeral for the victim furthers those plans.
The only "right thing to do" is to stay out of it. If Ahern is convicted, then maybe return Ahern's 50k Kraft Fund donation to the Lloyd family.
