Kraft is emblematic of America today. He's not a bad guy: this is just what the country has come to for rich people. The real scandal of the offseason isn't Deflategate, it's the move of the Rams to L.A.. You screw a great fan base and move a franchise from a place where people live and die football to a place where no one gives a **** solely to make a bunch of billionaires even richer. 30 of 31 teams voted for it including Kraft (I exclude Green Bay). Oakland was the sole team to vote against only because they wanted to move there (and screw over their own fanbase). Any sense that the league was about community, never mind "family", has become a myth. Kraft has operated under the "it's just business" model for so long he doesn't get it. A month ago he stated that Goodall is doing an excellent job aside from Deflategate. Are you kidding me? Kraft is Goodall, and will screw his fanbase if he has to because it's all about business. This is what America has come to. The dealings of the NFL are America in a nutshell. We continue in our individual fanbases and only get pissed if our own team is getting screwed. It's why Trump and Bernie resonate; wrong messengers but valid message. Kraft is a symptom of the disease, not a cause.
