Reactions To Kraft 's Presser Dropping the Fight.

[SONS_OF_BELICHICK]

I am very disappointed. So basically....Krafts says its ok for the league and everyone else to say the Patriots are a bunch of cheater..... money means more that standing up for what is right.....

 

[Deus Irae]

Who merged my thread? It was not the same poll question.

Come on, mods. That's ridiculous.

 

[IllegalContact]

he just sold the fan base out and his players

who gives a f*ck if he disagrees....why even bother saying it

 

[Huckleberry1]

So never go to another game again?

That's my plan. Why give money to owners who don't give a rats ass about their fans.

 

[Bruins29]

I will now throw my Kraft Mac and cheese in the garbage.

Are you ****ing serious?

 

[zgotts]

Kraft gets to hide in his tower and make billions. Meanwhile, I can't wear a single item of Patriots clothing without ridicule and being called a cheat.

Thanks for pissing on all your fans, so the other 31 can gleefully rip us apart.

You hit the nail on the head here. I don't think Kraft remembers what it's like being a real fan. He certainly doesn't know what it's like to have an entire nation (football fan or not, the general consensus is that the Pats are cheaters) **** on the team you love right in your face.

Trash talk can be fun when you're talking about actual player-to-player matchups. But the cheater label legitimizes hatred for the Patriots for the non-Pats fans, and when it moves to the level of hate, all of the fun of being a fan is lost.

ESPECIALLY when that cheater label is based off of conjecture and is blown to mega-proportions by the scumbag click-seeking media.

 

[RelocatedPatFan]

The Krafts aren't going to sell the team and as a fan of 23 years I'm not going anywhere. That being said, the passing of the torch to JK from RK can't come soon enough. He just seems like more of a fighter to me than his father who is looking pretty weak right now.

If RK was any less of a fighter, he'd probably not have enough will to get out of bed (heck maybe even too much bother to breath). I may come off the ledge some day, but I hope not.

 

[FrodoBagginz]

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.

 

[Huckleberry1]

Kraft chose being a part of the billionaire boys club over his fans.

 

[festy1986]

"I know alot of patriot fans are gonna be disappointed" kraft

Try bat **** insanely pissed.

 

[wilmingtonpatsfan]

Real Pats fans must united and stop going to the games. Only losing money will teach Kraft a lesson now.

 

[PatsGuy]

He is soooooo out of touch with the fanbase

Will every 2015 game b a sell out-yup
Will there b the yearly "who's going to the game"?(playoff) thread on the board?-yup

 

[SeanBruschi54]

If the penalties remain unchanged, do you trust Kraft?

Not at all.

 

[Palm Beach Pats Fan]

I always thought it must be SO embarrassing to have Jim Irsay as the owner of your team.

But now I almost understand what it feels like. ALMOST.

 

[Huckleberry1]

Yes...
Fans can still enjoy the team...go to the games..
Extreme tailgating to avoid spending in stadium.

But boycott every establishment there outside of Gillette....let it sink...like Bob sunk today.

Bob Kraft deserves an empty stadium.

 

[eom]

dudes mellow when they're in their 70s
no 70 yr old guy wants a fight, unless you're on his lawn

IAN IS ON A ROLL! MERGE TRAIN!!! CHOO CHOO!!!

 

[Halifax_Pats_Fan]

I am in the minority on this one. I am every bit as disgusted by this as you all are. All the work and time BB and Brady and the players put in and the owner does not go to bat for them.

Very very disappointing.

I do remain a fan and I do support all the good work this organization does. Fighting this fight has to be exhausting for this organization, the reaction to this thread is proof enough that it is taxing on our fanbase, let alone the people directly involved.

As mom always says...'this too shall pass'. The draft picks hurt but we have the coaching to remedy that to some extent. I will always support this team, but especially BB and Brady. Kraft can't keep doing this fight, it is not worth it. I don't need validation from other fan bases, they already hate us. The outcome of this is not going to change that.

Let's rest up and fuel up for the 2015 season. It will be a long one with a lot of revenge to serve up..and you can bet TFB and BB will have the fuel they need, all...year...long...

 

[Sfpat]

I am willing to give Kraft some time. I think there is probably more to this. Maybe something will be popping up in the next few weeks that makes this make sense.

I want to see if the penalty changes In the near future.

Problem is Kraft has lost all leverage. Goodell has demonstrated that he is not a benevolent man. If anything, the penalties will only be increased.

Kraft refused to fight back against the league. They've screwed us twice and he never fought back. There are NO excuses for Kraft.
