None of this has anything to do with his inaction during SpyFlateGate. That's akin to saying that a guy that has committed numerous charitable acts for the city that he lives in and has done a lot to enrich the lives of the people there should be forgiven for a night where he drank a fifth of Jack, got behind the wheel, and mowed down a pedestrian. Each act is separate. Yes, Kraft has done a lot of good for the franchise in the past. But this is a completely separate transgression and it shall be judged on it's own merits.
You could have just stopped here.
There is zero evidence of that happening. Actually, most of the evidence is on the fact that he's siding with the rest of the owners and Goodell on this one. Not surprising, though, considering this is a guy that kisses Goodell's cheek and gives him a big hug when he sees him in the Big Apple.
Whatever way you want to slice it, if you're going to lay any blame at Goodell's feet for this mess, blame should also be laid at Kraft's. He had numerous chances to come down on Goodell publicly for NFL publicity nightmares (like Rice, Peterson, Hardy, etc.) and supported him EACH and every single time by telling the world what a "great job" Roger was doing.
What evidence do you speak that he "siding with other owners" kimosabe???
Any evidence of how Kraft responded to a "great job Roger", after each and every time of the nightmares Rice, Peterson, Hardy etc??
I am not convinced that it is Kraft's style to do as you suggest..
I think people have a need to just be angry, and in that effort will rely on a whole lot of hearsay and conjecture to maintain that state..
