FULL STORY: Robert Kraft asks federal court to dismiss Patriots fans’ lawsuit over lost Deflategate draft pick




Does he honestly believe this?

 

[RobertWeathers]

My goodness <shaking head>

 

[juny]

at this point the owner is trolling the fans

 

[RecoveringCowboy]

It's harder to be an apologist for him if that's correct.

Disappointed.

 

[Nikolai]

That's just...extremely unfortunate. I've been a fence-sitter with the whole Kraft thing for the most part, but these kinds of shenanigans will push me into the "anti" camp pretty quickly.

 

[jah]

Where's the guy with the Archer avatar whose dad is either Kraft or Goodell?

 

[Patstopia]

The truth is in your actions Bob, not the words, forked tongue and all!

 

[sb1]

Pathetic.

It's amazing how tone deaf ownership continues to be.

He forgot to mention that before he took any action at all (assuming he's talking about wells report in context) he first declined the right to appeal, officially sealing the deal for the league. It's as if he wanted to first reassure his partners that he wasn't actually fighting anything, before attempting to appease the fanbase by pretending to fight the league through ways the league didn't care about and would hardly even notice.

No, he did mention that, see --
Robert Kraft: "We took unprecedented action--never pursued by any other team-"

No other team has refused to appeal a draft pick penalty over this type of action before. Unprecedented!

Please sell the team Kraft.

I hate this guy.

Sell the Patriots.

 

[Froob]

He probably shouldn't have gotten involved in this one...lawsuit was absurd but, not a good look for him.

Exactly...this appears amazingly stupid on the surface. There doesn't seem to be any value to this action, and tons of downside.

No other team besides the Pats? I don't know about that, but I'm pretty sure the Pats didn't appeal Cameraplaementgate either.

He is trying to show the owners that he's one of the 32." Once again Kraft's loyalties are in the wrong place.

 

[fnordcircle]

Dumb lawsuit but this is just going to be perceived as him standing up for the NFL. Dumb as ****.

 

[borg]

Remember when Benedict Bob was afforded unprecedented deferential treatment by this board. Unlike any other owner in the history of New England sports, fans genuflected at the mere mention of "Mr." Kraft ….now known as the Neville Chamberlain of modern sports ownership.

As I get 10 minutes distance from seeing this post for the first time, what I'm reminded of is that his loyalties are entirely economic and not those of a fan at all.

But I keep getting hooked. The good news is that I recovery faster each time than the last.

So true!!

The lawsuit is dumb and should be thrown out. Kraft's comments are equally as dumb.
Just shut up and go away Bob.
