Billionaires often become billionaires and stay billionaires by using the cheapest labor possible, that can get the job done. Explains a lot.

I’m chiming in on a personal level here...I’ve had many professional interactions with Bob and Myra Kraft...she was as good as it gets and then some...absolutely one of the sweetest kindest women I’ve ever met...

Cut an old widower some slack here...he negotiated with a massage parlor prostitute and then paid in cash for a happy ending...big deal...

I can’t stand the media’s gloating over his friendship with our POTUS and any personal animus you have towards his NFL team...

Because I read the news accounts about the location and can see that it looks just like the Day Spas in cities everywhere.

Interesting though to see in the picture that they offer table showers. Anyhow, you can see it is a regular licensed business from the picture.

It sure has changed, hasn't it? This man has behaved poorly, and even though he's a widower, he still has a family including grandchildren. He owed that apology to all of them.

He got a massage. Why would he need to apologize to his grandchildren for that?

And Man can get needs met without conduct that breaks the law. Do you mean to say a man of his wealth can't get a girlfriend? Can't fly to a country that permits other behaviors? That he can't use other legal forms of getting off? Rubbish. I understand the urge. There are other ways of dealing with it.

Don't wish to insult you, but (to me) that statement smacks of hypocrisy. It namely sounds as though you are saying that his only mistake was in not observing the letter of the law. That the exact same behavior - but in a different country with different laws - would be subject to a different moral interpretation. Or that a similar behavior - ultra-rich guy getting a "girlfriend" (quotation marks intentional) to satisfy his "urges" (your term) would be in a different moral category.

I myself have no position on this case - not ever having heard of this "Robert Kraft" before, and not being familiar with the details of the case.

Regards,

I once had a friend who was in charge of the “illicit” activities in Houston.

Your statement is ambiguous. Was your friend a policeman, in charge of the Vice Squad, and hence in charge of combatting illicit activities? Or was he the criminal overlord of prostitution?

Regards,

You admit you don’t know what you’re talking about yet you say I sound like a hypocrite. In this case, I am.

I say that because, as a Christian, I know that the sin is internal. The law I seek to live by is a different standard than most and yet I still fail at times and need the grace of Christ.

But I suspect Mr. Kraft is not a Christian so I cannot condemn him by my standards. I am also not a rich man or a public figure but what I know about it, his mistakes are highly visible so extra care must be taken so as not to be an embarrassment to himself and others.

That includes showing up at seedy massage parlors that most people know are fronts for prostitution. A rich man has options not available to the rest of us. There are options that do not involve public exposure or ridicule. He tried the cheap, common solution and got burned by it.

20-someodd people were arrested but only one has ever been named. Kraft is the public figure and he’s the one losing face over this. His apology is about his poor judgement even more than what he actually did.

Eugene Robinson was a defensive back who was playing in his second straight Super Bowl. He was being honored as a model husband and father down in Miami the same week as the big game. He decided that, while in Miami, he would seek out a street prostitute who turned out to be an undercover officer. Soon the news was out that he should have been Hypocrite of the Year.

His error was making a decision that embarrassed his family, his teammates and the organization he worked for. For that, he issued an apology. Robinson should have, at the very least, found a more discreet option than he chose.

Kraft is in a similar circumstance although he’s a team owner, not a player.

He doesn’t need to apologize to his family for receiving a massage. He needs to apologize to them for going to a prostitute for services. That poor decision put his name in the news for the wrong reason.

“Your statement is ambiguous.”

FBI agent in charge of the Houston operation to arrest those who would commit such crimes.

Is that specific enough for you?

I don’t know the details of this investigation. What you are describing sounds like info that should not have been shown to the public. Sounds very intrusive. Sure doesn’t sound constitutional.

I do want legal law enforcement tactics to get at sex traffickers. But within constitutional limits.

It was a massage. He was in a licensed massage establishment.
