...Kraft, a longtime Trump supporter, ...

Yeah, and I'm a longtime NFL supporter.

I used to be disinterested in football. Now I hate the NFL.

Robert Kraft said that Trump seized on the national anthem protests to spread division and anger.

Like PT Barnum said, “There’s an asshole born every minute”.
Appears it was Kraft’s turn. Moron.

Kraft needs to wake his ass up. How is purposely knealing and disrespecting the flag not “causing division?” Let’s remember what started all of this, too: One jackass was seen sitting his ass down on a bench during the anthem and asked about it by reporters after a preseason game at which time, instead of admitting he was caught with his pants down, he made up some bullshit about “protesting.”

Kraft’s New England Patriots need Trump supporters vastly more than Trump supporters need Kraft’s New England Patriots.

Owners. Tempted to call them idiots for not seeing this, but you spend a ton isolating yourself from the riff raff. Unfortunately, riff raff is your primary demo.

Happens to a lot of companies, and the NFL is dying.

Will Kraft kneel with the players? Does he have a problem with that image and message? Never mind his concerns about Donald Trump.

Remember these quotes are being presented out of context by corrupt media.

Go ahead and double down, owners. You’re only hastening the death of the NFL.

Spoken like a true elitist a**hole Bob.

The taxpayers need to keep this attitude in my mind when the NFL owners come for another handout to build stadiums. They can go to hell and they can take their thugs with them.

The media is what’s divisive and horrible, not Trump.

Nonsense. Most of us expect POTUS to stand up for America.

This proves beyond a shadow of doubt that nfl owners are scared to death of a few black players. Very sad they are.

Maybe one or two are. I believe most of the owners are leftists with no love for this country.

Very true and it also shows Trump badly miscalculated the support he thought he would get from the owners and football watching public

Somewhere back in my memory there is a dim recall that the NFL Draft may be happening. Huh, guess I’ll do the laundry or wash my hair or something.

The owner of the New England Patriots said in a meeting with NFL owners, executives and players that President Trump was using public fury over football players who kneel during the national anthem as "fodder to do his mission."

Could it be that Trump was simply reflecting what 100 million Americans think about paying to be insulted by millionaire players? The NFL used to be an escape or oasis from the daily political badgering in the main stream media.

So the owner of the Patriots cannot figure this out? The NFL has passed the high water mark in attendance and public interest, and on its way out.

The owners and players will continue to blame everyone but themselves. Hate and stupidity are not the basis for economic success.
