LOL! You are right. We should not have opinions.
I understand when people have opinions on decisions that are made. But opinions on what is moral or right or socially-acceptable, when no laws are broken and no impact is made on your life? Why? The world is too preachy and judgmental as is. It's divisive and harmful and has no real purpose other than making somebody feel better about themselves.
So Kraft has a younger girlfriend. He's broken no laws, he's happy, she's happy, what does it matter? And if she makes him feel young again so he dresses up for Halloween, so what? Should he break up with her and find someone closer to his age and make himself less happy just to fit in? Should Kraft sacrifice his own happiness just to fit societal norms? I'd have less respect for him as a man if he did.
I've always thought that what a man does matters more than what a man wears. The guy saved football in New England, paid for the entire stadium out of his own pocket, built the best organization in football, has donated over $100M to charities
VS.
He wears SNEAKERS with his SUIT??? CLOWN!
Kraft has made mistakes, no doubt. And if you want to question those, I understand. But keep the personal **** out of it. It's just mean and spiteful and has nothing to do with the man he is.
And for those who think Jonathan would be better because of some media comments, I think there's a story behind the scenes that you're missing. Public comments and positions are often discussed in the background, and different people take different positions to cover bases.
Jonathan actually hadn't said much for a looooooooooong time. It's only recently he's taken on a more active role, and that's not by accident or coincidence. I wouldn't be surprised to find out that Robert and Jonathan have discussed this in advance and choreographed their positions. Robert is also a father, and he's grooming Jonathan to take over eventually, so it wouldn't be surprising that he gets Jonathan to take positions that are popular with the fanbase.
In an organization as tight-lipped as the Patriots are, any leaks or deviation should be seen as purposeful, and not accidental. Like the Patriots leaking that they were going to draft Mallett a dozen picks before it happened, that wasn't a mistake, but rather an ad to the rest of the league that you better trade up if you want him.
Which is a long way of saying that Jonathan is a team player, just like his dad, just like his coach, just like his players. He will play the role he's given, he will do his job. But that doesn't mean that's what he or Robert or anyone else in the organization actually think or believe or do. It's all part of the public show.
Not saying Jonathan would be a bad owner, just that it's a terrible idea to crown him based on a few snarky public comments that made us laugh.
