A good PR plan can do some things, bur Kraft doesn't own the league and he is bound by the consensus of 32 others and the mistake they created.
If the patriots choose to stay in the league they are currently dominating [best plan, in my opinion] then they are still inextricably bound to the bylaws and agreements, mostly financial, that their fellow owners and the mistake they appointed administrate.
If your plan is that our owner spit in the eye of the corruptioner and any other owners he dislikes, that leaves us with few options, seeing that the revenue sharing, media contracts, salary cap are still jointly held by the league.
There's starting our own league or trying to bring the league down in a lawsuit.
Given that removing him is an actual option, I don't think you've addressed what intentionally pissing off all the people you would need politically to do that, accomplishes.
That is a Fair Argument, Sir!! I thank you!!
01 ~ I certainly don't agree that starting a new League is an attractive Option.
02 ~ Nor am I proposing that we "bring down the League". That's your notion, Sir, not mine.
03 ~ Perhaps you've inferred that I was proposing to transcribe my words, here, into Public Statements. That is a reasonable Supposition, but not a correct one, and one you might've asked me about before assuming otherwise: I never proposed "pissing off" other Owners. We would certainly not disagree on that, you and I.
My approach would be to Call Them To Account ~ to challenge them.
That is a subtle Difference, but a crucial one in the Public Forum. Those Owners not supporting Goodel's Patriots Persecution could have nothing to complain about, and, having Consciences as most people do, would likely find themselves persuaded by said Consciences and by what I expect would be an increasing Public Outcry to not only put genuine Pressure on Goodel to retract his Atrocity...but to replace him.
Maybe not all of them, but enough to make a Difference.
And that's all we need.
If Goodel's Cabal can block our firing Goodel, then we can't do any harm, can we?
And if they can't block our firing Goodel, then it's pretty obvious that it's in our Best Interests to Expose The Truth, loudly, relentlessly, and every single day until we generate enough Support to do so.
Left alone, most people will just shut up and go along...which is precisely how Kraft allowed this to happen: By keeping quiet except for a few bleats and allowing the other Owners to bury their heads in the sand.
But if Truth is one side's Enemy, and the other side's Best Friend, the smartest decision that the latter can make is to expose it as loudly, extensively, and relentlessly as possible.
People do respond, and Great Change does happen, as History has shown thousands of times over the Years.
