What is the point of being a fan of this team now. Kraft is a gutless joke!
You can send a Twitter message. You can comment on Tom Brady's FB page. You can comment on Mike Reiss' article.He probably doesn't make his private email known to the public for obvious reasons. If there is an official Patriots email, it's useless really as your emails will be discarded or they will send you some pre-written Kraft approved response.
To paraphrase Kraft channeling Spock: "The good of the 32 outweighs the good of the 53." Proving that Kraft is an NFL fan and not a Patriots fan.@SI_PeterKing: Kraft1:
—
“At no time should the agenda of one team outweigh the collective good of the full 32.”
—Robert Kraft.
That statement is the worst.
No lubricant?Anyone? Anyone?
Because Kraft just validated it.What I don't quite understand is some of you are saying "damn now we'll be known as cheaters forever! The whole legacy is tarnished!". You guys do know that regardless of what happened with the appeal, the opinion of the vast majority of people was not going to change one bit? Theyve been known as cheaters even before this Deflategate crap happened. Patriots fans will always defend the team and everyone else will hate them. It's been like that for the last 8 years. What difference did today make exactly?
So what's his legacy going to be? Cheater! Twice! UNCONTESTED!!!I think a lot of fans are jumping to assumptions. We don't know what Kraft was facing. We don't know what his lawyers were telling him, and we don't know what the backchannel conversations were telling him.
Perhaps he made a deal to get Goodell to recuse himself from the Brady hearing. Perhaps a lawsuit was viewed as likely to be dismissed (thus furthering the haters ammo).
I do think its unlikely that he would abandon Brady and his team's image or his legacy without really being in a no win situation and I do trust that he made the best decision that was available to him.
People that think he was doing this for money... Lol, I guarentee he's lost more money out of the predictable fan reaction than anything the league has ever done to him.
Billionares don't give a **** about nickel and dime affairs, and they definitely care much more about their legacies than anything else.
