Oh wow. well that settles it. he should have spit in his face.
I think it's safe to say that is the overwhelming opinion. FU Goodell. I'm onboard with that.

Maybe the world is that simple, who knows?
Sure why not? I don't have some false idol worship. I go by what I see and not what they own. You have a personal relationship with Kraft or is this your "gut feeling" because if the latter is true, he's 0-1 in that department or should we just assume he's brave because he's got money? Seems a bit weak in the strength of argument department but I'm willing to listen to tales of his braveryDo you think there are a lot [not heirs] of spineless multibillionaires? Seriously, how would that happen?
Well, at least you concede that a multibillionaire is a better businessman than you. baby steps.
Most of the other owners are rats. gawd, just look at Irsay, what a s**tbag. They need to be cornered and defeated, respect has nothing to do with it. Takes some time.
Who cares? Veiled or not, his measily donation will hardly register on anyone's radar.Golly, ya think? Not even the veiled, if you ask me.
Pretty smarmy Ray, especially given the fact that you clearly think the gesture was entirely insincere and in truth just an oblique and abstract jab at the Kommishiiner.
He could have saved a lot of money by simply calling out Goodell for the sh.t job he us doing.
So, what I get from this thread is that if you're a billionaire, your decisions are brilliant covert maneuvers that only message board members can figure out but not other billionaires and that Kraft being a good owner means that he doesn't cave when he faces other billionaires. Got it. Seems so logical now.

Why does this make him so smart?
Wow, you really need to get a grip. My desire to be rich has little to do with how I feel about people. You're selling your soul to worship at that altar. That's not how I want it if it requires blind obedience to them. I'm really shocked that you would be so easily swayed by a wallet.I'd like to be a billionaire, wouldn't you?

What in the world does that have to do with Kraft's decision ?
Look, I've been clear and now you're just trying to twist things to save face. I clearly implied if not stated that I don't think being a billionaire makes you *not* spineless. I also said that being a good owner and being spineless are not mutually exclusive. I asked you to give examples of his bravery and you come back with this lame attempt to try and corner me with this nonsense. Is this the foundation of your argument ? Sorry, I bail. You win. Kraft is not spineless and he's got the NFL on the run.
All I can say is think about what you're using to form your opinion. Have a good evening
This is so tiresome. So what about the 1990s shrewd business moves he made. Yes they were fantastic. But as to what happened with frame gate, so what? There is absolutely no evidence that he has a long term plan as to Goodell. In fact, he spent the last few years alienating owners and when Goodell went after the Pats he was all alone. If his long term plan was to curry favor with the Commish he failed miserably.Who gives a **** if they respect him? He has a long term mission to remove goodell [in my opinion] and he is a long term thinker.
He bought a ****ty run down race track, then a piece of crap bankrupt stadium just so 10 years later, he could force an owner trying to buy out the stadium lease and move to St Louis, to sell him the team because he was fckin cornered and had no choice.
10 years.

As I said, Kraft was acclaimed as the most influential owner in sports as recently as 2014 [fact check]. Goodell called him away from his sick wife, to settle the CBA which Goodell completely ****ed up. He did. All the very lucrative media contracts they'd all [especially ESPN] would love to get out of now - negotiated by Kraft
Yeah he messed up because the commissioner was insanewho cares who acclaimed Kraft as influential.
