Statement from #Patriots Chairman & CEO Robert Kraft:
twitter ^ | 9-24-17 | Robert Kraft

Posted on 09/24/2017 6:39:37 AM PDT by dynachrome

"I am deeply disappointed by the tone of the comments made by the President on Friday. I am proud to be associated with so many plagers who make such tremendous contributions in positively impacting our communities. Their efforts, both on and off the field, help bring people together and make our community stronger. There is no greater unifier in this country than sports, and unfortunately, nothing more divisive than politics. I think our political leaders could learn a lot from the lessons of teamwork and the importance of working together toward a common goal. Our players are intelligent, thoughtful and care deeply about our community and I support their right to peacefully affect social change and raise awareness in a manner that they feel is most impactful."

The NFL Plantation is having trouble with the “workers” and selling there production.
The sales are down because the product is not as good as once was. Can you say watered down. Another fly in the ointment is cost to buy their product has risen, $8-10 @beer!
Then along comes one or two that say they are not going to abide by the rules of the House and do their own schtick. The people who do business no longer come, sales go down, even further.
A smart business man in another position makes notes on this quandary and suggest the error of their ways. The misfits howl!
The rock has hit their dog.
Now the Owner(s) of the NFL Plantation scream at the Smart Business Man, instead off listening, taking advise. They side with the belligerents and give them “extra chickens” for their Sundays!
The Owners should have given the extra chickens to the people buying the product.

As a decades long Patriots fan I am through with them.

Robert Kraft just showed his true colors. In echoing the NFL commissioner's totally tone def remarks he has thrown his tantamount support behind the ungrateful, "only black lives matter" black racist, PC, rebel mob within the NFL and is encouraging further/greater disrespect and rebellion against America. Kraft's actions absolutely confirm the following:

He is no "Patriot", he doesn't respect the country OR the Patriots fans; all the Kraft family cares about is the money!

The anti-American, black racist "only black lives matter", PC pink National Felon League HATES America, traditional AMERICAN values and despises us, the NFL's former fans and fan base. The NFL habitually disrespects and spits on our flag, our nation's anthem, our values AND ON US continually and we are supposed to remain loyal, sacrifice our hard earned money, time and energy and still support them while they pee down our backs and call it "rain". Not gonna do it; it wouldn't be prudent.

The NFL is dead, they murdered it with their own hands!

I, like millions of former NFL fans used to really enjoy NFL football for decades but no more. You see the assumption is that our problem with the NFL is about "politics"; it isn't. As a matter of fact the problem isn't about politics at all, its about traditional values, patriotism and our love of country.

What has been and is actively and intentionally taking place is an attack by the NFL on America, patriotism, traditional American values, our culture and our very way of life. This is reality.

Multitudes of NFL players, owners, the commissioner and others within the NFL are intentionally seeking to destroy the country from within using the NFL as a platform and one of their means of accomplishing this goal.

The NFL is no longer just a "game". They view and are using it as a platform and tool for their perverse social engineering and not so subtle goal of "the fundamental transformation of America."

Millions of patriotic, freedom loving, former NFL fans have rightfully come to the conclusion that the NFL in reality now HATES America, patriotism, traditional American values, and white people, ESPECIALLY WHITE MALES (combined these demographics constitute about 93% of their entire NFL fan base) and looks upon and treats its own fans and customer base with utter contempt and disdain. Hence, the National Felon League is no longer worthy of their support, money, time, and emotional energy.

Why would ANY NFL fan continue to support an organization and "game" that actively promotes these perversely destructive goals and habitually acts this way? The answer is readily found in the massive desertion of the NFL's former fan base throughout our entire country = former NFL fans love America, more than we love a mere game.

The NFL has brought about its own destruction by its own hands and Robert Kraft is helping lead the charge.

“Kraft is not a stupid man. Why is he lying?”

Kraft is a capo, he’s simply looking after his wallet. His sheckels are all that he cares about.

This is rich coming from the chairman of a team n called the “Patriots”. What was he thinking. Perhaps they should change their name so they don’t look so much like hypocrites.

We need to realize the owners such as Mara, Tisch, Kraft really care only about making money; by siding with their scumbo players, they have made the bet that they risk less by pleasing their infantile, mostly stupid employees than by offending a significant part of their fan base and the tv audience. Part of this goes back to the hubris they get from milking the public for years - through antitrust exemptions, tax benefits, and taxpayer funded stadiums. Somehow, the profits are never returned to the taxpayers and end up in the billionaire owners’ pockets. Their return is to spit in our faces, and like the wonderful Spanos family in San Diego, move the team the community supported for 56 years when you can’t get a new stadium.

“It’s not racism, it’s your low class behaviors.”

That’s the most important of all of your statements.

“Low education, high crime, failure to be good husbands, poor social skills....and Blacks wonder why normal people don’t view them with the same acceptance they do Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Mexicans, etc?”

This just fills in the reasons behind your first statement, Perfectly

“Kraft is a COWARD.”

Unfortunately anybody in the public eye with lots to lose is much more afraid of the BLM, SJW and the MSM crashing their lives than Trump.

It’s up to we the people to make their lives even more miserable than what the thugs in the left can do. But we’re not as well organized or as violent and they know it.

So they take the coward’s, but safer, way out.

You know what, compared to all those other minorities, and including legitimate immigrants from Africa, Jamaica, Haiti...it's about time that "African-Americans" grow up and get a clue.

The black immigrants laugh at them and put them to shame.

Think culture. Think cultural

The black problem is their culture, not their race

And the problem is not uniform across all with black skin

I thought the Patriots’ organization was an island of sanity is this ocean of stupidity known as the NFL, but I guess I was wrong.

Yknow, people who were photographed at the Charlottesville demonstration, and were identified on social media, got fired from their jobs. No defense allowed. Gone. But THIS employer doesn’t seem to care when it’s employees embarrass the company in ways that will demonstrably hurt the bottom line.... whichever way this goes.
