Reactions To Kraft 's Presser Dropping the Fight.

RIguy54 · May 19, 2015

As fans which one are we to accept...

1. The Patriots are accepting a penalty for an infraction that never occured
2. The Patriots unequivocally cheated

What is it Mr Kraft?

I've decided I've given up the NFL from the 2015 season onward. I will still enjoy all my Patriot's DVDs from the 2014 Season and the past, and watch old free NFL content on YouTube from the past, but nothing from 2015 on. The NFL will never see another penny from me, and neither will the Patriots. IF I ever come back to the NFL, I'm not even sure I'd be a Pat's fan if Kraft still owns the team.

HTF did Kraft become a billionaire business man? I mean, how can he allow his product to be crapped on by his other partners, allow his most valuable assets to be plundered and then appear weak and feeble in front of his customers? Unless there is some grand plan to oust Goodell and with a coalition of other owners work to return the NFL to some semblance of profit with fairness I am speechless.

He's a negotiator who's great at getting along with other high mucky-mucks, and who has a sharp eye for forward-looking economic analysis.

He kind of stumbled into the consumer business that is the Pats. Even there, his greatest accomplishments (other than hiring BB) have been of the back room negotiations/deal-making variety.

Before I click "Yes," I'm waiting to see whether this was part of a deal to get TB's suspension lifted. Otherwise, I wish the OP had included a category "Hell, Yes."

why would that change your answer

Bob Kraft may be a great businessman, but he sure is a sucker for “the greater good” argument. Kraft would have fit right in in 1940s Germany. He would have been one of the Jewish leaders urging cooperation with Hitler while Heinrich Himmler was busy massacring Jews by the millions.

Even if there is a secret deal to eliminate Brady’s suspension, which the NFL says there is not, he should have fought the good fight. Not because he would necessarily win, but because it is sometimes necessary to restore order. At the very least, a Patriots lawsuit would have shone the light of truth on the cesspool that is the NFL league office.

Agree with your second Paragraph.

Implore you to delete your first paragraph. It's not appropriate. Like most Jews, Kraft probably lost relatives in the Holocaust, so just delete it, OK? Don't say or do anything that gives him the moral high ground that he does not deserve.

If he had to make a deal to accept the biggest fine in history and be the 2nd team in like the last 20 years to lose a first round pick again just to get Brady's joke of suspension lifted then something might be wrong with the process. jus sayin

I thought one of the most disgusting comments Kraft made was sucking up to Goodell by saying something to the effect of "I'm certain he believes he made the right decision"

I will never turn my back on the team I have supported since the 60's.

I will turn my back on Patriot Place and spending on anything Kraft.

Boycott Patriot Place .... I think it's what we all should do to voice our displeasure.

This is the right way to approach this.

That's the two things I keep fighting with in my head right now. I don't know which one to choose but regardless I think my trust/love for NFL football, as well as the Patriots, might be gone. I'm not sure I'll watch anywhere but from a distant. Maybe on Kraft and Goodell are gone (10+ years?) I'll get more back into it at all. It's a ****ty feeling.

Because he might, for all intents and purposes, have been presented with a Hobson's choice scenario by the bastards on Park Avenue. I'm not holding my breath on that, but it's not out of the question.

This is appalling.

He sold his quarterback, his coach, his fanbase, and his team's legacy out. He is a complete piece of **** as far as I am concerned. I'll follow the team for the team but I will no longer buy another piece of Patriots merchandise as long as this gutless ***** is in charge of the team. I was planning a trip to Gillette this year. Instead, I think I'll take my girlfriend to New York since she's never been there and watch an away game vs. the Giants.

Robert Kraft just walked past with a big smile. Looks like some weight has been taken off his shoulders

I want to throw up

A coward's relief.

Blackluck · May 19, 2015

I haven't read this whole thread yet, but I would love to see a strongly worded fan letter - not attacking or disrespectful - but one that conveys the great sense of not only disappointment but the feeling of betrayal that Kraft's capitulation has engendered with the fan base. Maybe a website with a letter that fans can digitally sign or something. It wouldn't change anything but too often fans never have any means of feedback.

IllegalContact · May 19, 2015

I saw his press conference......I am glad that Bob Kraft at least wiped his chin before accepting the fact that his team is a bunch of cheaters

so what?

Pitchforks and torches all up and down Rt 1 in front of Jonathan City....Who's in?

Palm Beach Pats Fan · May 19, 2015

If Brady sues the NFL, it would appear that Kraft would fight him tooth and nail, on opposite sides of the lawsuit.

Because Kraft values being one of the 32 above all else, and Brady would be suing the 32.

If that is not betrayal, I don't know what is.

Myra Kraft is turning over in her grave. Kinda happy she's not around to see what her husband has become.

Just got off the phone and delivered the simple message that they will not get another dime from me after Bob Kraft (I actually stumbled and said "Bob Crap" which I'm sorry I corrected) sold the fan base down the river today. I encourage others to flood the switchboard and the ticket office with their displeasure.
