Mr. Kraft, fight this or I am done.

To what end? The owners approve of Goodell who is intentionally making the Pats into a villain and using unfair means to restore whatever he would view as competitive balance. The only people this league punishes more than the Patriots are its fans. If I was going to pay to be abused, her name would be Mistress Denna and she'd have long black hair and huge melons.

Accept it or be done with the NFL. Anything else is an invitation for continued heartbreak. They've been attacking our fanbase for 8 years. 8 long years.

I won't watch a game Brady is suspended for. Speak for yourself. I'm not going to watch a corrupt sports organization run by a ****ing degenerate lowlife just because I enjoy football.

Convictions > Entertainment

I will definitely watch the games. On a bootleg streaming site.

Not wasting my time & $ going to the razor though. No merchandise or jersey's, unless they're knockoffs.

Good thing I don't have cable, so the **** league isn't getting any of my subscription $s by-proxy.

We should at least try.

*** Kraft. he is part of this whole organization that has become what it is. he doesn't care about Tom Brady or his legacy, or that he was the greatest quarterback that ever lived. His whole legacy will be ruined over a pound of air in a football. And Bob Kraft will roll over and do nothing. But, he will never get one more penny of mine that cheap f****** jerk off. and by the way what happened to a $25,000 fine, even if Tom Brady was guilty. I am officially done with the NFL. Its been a long time coming

RobAllan · May 11, 2015

The owner of the team that takes your money doesn't stand up for them, Froob. If the people with vested interest won't stand up for themselves, it doesn't make sense to waste your own time. Just my .02 . Respect what any fan does, obviously.

Froob · May 11, 2015

Email this to Kraft a 1000 times.

obgod3 · May 11, 2015

Common misunderstanding here folks, Kraft can't fight it, under the current CBA the fines and picks on the team can not be fought, not in the NFL and not in court. He has nothing he can do.

Brady can fight his suspension but that's all, it is a matter of contract and law.

IllegalContact · May 11, 2015

I am still shocked by the sheer absurdity of it all.......I don't know what to say

I know Brady will appeal and I give him a good chance of winning.

If Kraft doesn't try to do something about it, then I have to think about what I am doing next fall instead of watching football

pwes · May 11, 2015

Kraft needs to realize that not fighting is only allowing this BS to tarnish the legacy of his team. Even if there is nothing he can do he can at least come out and call it what it is, a vendetta against his team from the league. If he sits back and just takes it he will lose a lot of fans. The fans will stay for Brady and Belichick but once they are gone they will leave in droves because no one want to support a gutless coward who can't defend his own team when they are being slenderized and punished for cheating when there is no proof of any wrong doing.

Bingo. I am done with buying any NFL products and will from now on do whatever harms them most financially. Bootleg streams, cheap merch knockoffs. They might not care, but I do and that's the only way to send a message.

NashuaPats · May 11, 2015

Just because he can't fight the NFL legally, doesn't mean he can't fight them through the media. He should hire legitimiate scientists and lawyers to put out a report of his own that absolutely eviscerates that garbage of a report. He owes that to his fans, his QB, and every other member of the 2014/2015 NFL championship team.

DefenseRules · May 11, 2015

Ben Rothlesberger wasn't treated with this much contempt when he raped that girl. I am done with this league. Brady go home to your family. This league and this team doesn't deserve you. **** the NFL. As long as this piece of **** is the commissioner, I am no longer interested in watching.

Character assassinate Goodell, commission his own report, go on a media offensive, posture for legal action, demand arbitration, use his pulpit to make the point that the punishment is inconsistent with precedent and the report itself and probably a load of other semi-shady thug life business **** that I can't think of. A guy doesn't get to Kraft's level and allow someone he employed and has taken a public flogging for defending to piss in his cheerios unless it's in his long term business interests. At the least Pats should be reporting every opponent for anything under the sun and leaking news of the upcoming "investigation" following every game next year.

So, a meaningless temper tantrum?

Why do people spread the incorrect information that nobody can fight back against the Commissioner's decision?

“The NFL has a well-documented history of making poor disciplinary decisions that often are overturned when truly independent and neutral judges or arbitrators preside, and a former federal judge has found the commissioner has abused his discretion in the past, so this outcome does not surprise me,” Yee said.

Federal Judge overturned Commissioner's punishment of Ray Rice.

"Because, after careful consideration of all of the evidence, I am not persuaded that Rice lied to, or misled, the NFL at his June interview, I find that the indefinite suspension was an abuse of discretion and must be vacated."

First of all, I find it very hard to waste my time and energy on an organization, the NFL, that can bring forth such penalties on a probability. Furthermore, I find it even more disgusting to waste my time, energy and money cheering and supporting an organization, the Pats, who sit back a take such an unwarranted witch hunt. My opinion and feelings are simple. Mr Kraft, fight this with everything you have. Stand up for your team, coach and most notably QB, who has brought you so much notoriety, fame and money over the past decade. If you sit back and do nothing and as you stated prior, except this, you lose me as a fan of the Patriots. And I kid you not, I will show up at 1 Patriot place with every piece of Patriot merchandise I have bought over the years and dump them on your doorstep.

Bye bye

We are talking about discipline against the team. Individuals can appeal, teams can not.

Guarantee you this corporate clown does absolutely nothing to fight this since it doesn't hurt his bottom line enough. One milly? cool we will cut Kyle Arrington for you. The fans will get over it and keep on showing up, plus we've all got London to look forward to!

Willing to put your life savings on, OH wait you have nothing.

Biffins · May 11, 2015

Everyone repeatedly says that the only way to hurt Kraft or get him to listen was to hit his pocketbook. I ask all fans to boycott all restaurants and all stores at Patriot Place to deliver a strong message to Kraft that we can't be taken for granted.
