Good Kraft is a moron who rod3 Bradys coat tails

Good, no known cheaters should be in any hall of fame.

Considering the number of Super Bowls and the fact that New England is back in one this year, this has to be backlash over the sexual misconduct by him. In today's cultural environment, it simply wouldn't be very PR to put him in. Belichick, to me, is about allegations of cheating.

If Jerry and Jimmy can get in with three Super Bowls, this is about more than Super Bowl success.

Probably more to do with getting caught cheating 3 times.

Either the media hates N.E., or they decided to not get Kraft in this year over the backlash over Bill B?
Latter feels like a weird conspiracy theory, but who knows these days.

As an owner, surprising he's not in.

Or maybe the massage parlors. He got off a prostitution charge on a technicality but he was on video. League doesn’t like those things

The head shaking and/or outrage is high right now about the Captain Obvious omissions, but this is nothing new. The Hall's Board of Selectors have been biased since the 1960s.

Edit: And the extremely limited class size requirements of the Hall further compounds problems like these.

I'm suprised they let Brady in because of Deflate Gate. jk

In the end, Robert Kraft will enjoy a happy ending.

 

[sunalsorises]

Putting aside the cheating, sex trafficked massages, weird audition tape, hiding a serial killer, and anything else he has done along the way, I don't see that he really belongs in the HOF for owning a team.

NGM got in because he made the NFL billions
Kraft only oversaw a dynasty
lets face it, Kraft while a scum bag is not really that much worse then NGM when you get right down to it

Not a Robert Kraft fan at all, but he is widely credited with being a key part in brokering the 2011 labor deal that ended the lockout and helped set the stage for the last 15 years of relative labor peace between the NFL and players union (therefore its subsequent growth in revenue). Scum bag? Absolutely, I agree. Only oversaw a dynasty and didn't do anything else for the NFL? That would be incorrect.

That said, I am happy he didn't get in (to be honest) for the rest of him personally, so please don't misconstrue the above as support.

whatever the reason, it looks good on Kraft

Media people are finally seeing what is happening in the real world.

Bilicheat and Kraft are not very well liked. And as respected as they think.

How exactly is he a scumbag?

They were looking for sex trafficked victims, doesn't mean the one he used was a sex trafficked woman or that he was specifically looking for a sex trafficked woman.

He was getting a happy ending by a business that sold the oldest product for sell. It's legal in some states. It's legal in other parts of the world. It's basically what you did with your wife just your version was stretched out over months or years but in the end you spent money to get sex from her.

You guys act like some holy rollers judging from the back church pew. Careful where you throw those stones.

That's what it is more than anything..Jealousy That's the Way it used to be for us. It's why our 70's players took so long to get inducted and some still aren't in.

 

[panchucko]

They are going to put the triplets in together (Brady Bellcheat Kraft) in 2028

 

[MikeT22]

"If you ain't cheatin, you ain't tryin"

Belichick, Vrabel and Cambell will exploit every weakness in the rule books. They will also exploit strengths like snow-blowering the spot point of a FG attempt.

Jerrys idea of exploitation is piping vanilla and cinnamon in the stadium to increase concessions.

Yeah, Jerry being in was the beginning of the end for the credibility of the HOF

 

[DemonBlood]

Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. Dang, the voters really have it out for the Pats and as someone who lives in the region and has to deal with their fans I find this very enjoyable.

 

[KingCorcoran]

How exactly is he a scumbag?

Please allow Cowboys fans to be jealous of another team’s success.

 

[Ring Leader]

Yeah, Jerry being in was the beginning of the end for the credibility of the HOF

And the sanity of Kraft.

It's not legal where Kraft got his massage and places that offer them illegally end up using sex trafficked women to perform them. As you said, there are places in the world where it is legal and regulated. Kraft has the means to go to any one of those places yet he chose some place in a strip mall. He actually flew a private jet down to get one. Lastly, I highly doubt the time he was recorded was the only time he patronized the business. Kraft knew the story.

I don't care if he wants to get extended service during a massage but not the way he did it.
