NE Patriots owner Robert Kraft charged with soliciting prostitution
I have absolutely no idea what the fantasy implications are, but it's too damn funny not to share
https://deadspin.com/patriots-owner-bob ... 1832807440
New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, one of the most powerful men in American football, was charged today on two counts of soliciting prostitution in connection to a recent law enforcement bust on massage parlors in Florida that, according to law enforcement, were used for prostitution and human trafficking. The news comes a few weeks after the Patriots won their sixth Super Bowl and days after Kraft appeared at the NBA All-Star game.
In a press conference Friday morning, Jupiter Police chief Daniel Kerr said Kraft was charged with two counts of soliciting prostitution, and that a warrant for his arrest is with the state’s attorney’s office. Kerr said there is video evidence of Kraft involved in sex acts in a massage parlor on two occasions. Twenty-five people total were charged with soliciting prostitution at the Orchids of Asia Spa in Jupiter.

Re: NE Patriots owner Robert Kraft charged with soliciting prostitution
Whoa. This might be big news. One would have to consider this at least in the ballpark of the stuff Richardson did which eventually forced the sale of the Panthers, right? Or am I too quick to sound the alarms here?

Re: NE Patriots owner Robert Kraft charged with soliciting prostitution
The only fantasy implications I can think of is it might convince Brady or Gronkowski to retire sooner rather than later if this in any way pushes Kraft out as Patriots Owner (which I doubt but the Panthers ownership changed due to harassment allegations ... ).

Guess Brady riding off into the sunset and winning another Super Bowl in his final season wasn't the happy ending Kraft was looking for.

Re: NE Patriots owner Robert Kraft charged with soliciting prostitution
In all seriousness, as I think about this more:
- Don't want to debate whether these offenses (assuming true), are worse than Richardson's.
- Let's see how swiftly and harshly Roger Goodell reacts.
- If the reaction is neither swift nor harsh, we will have another confirmation of what we pretty much knew: Goodell's responses are arbitrary at best. On the other end of the spectrum, some might say he's a clown.

Re: NE Patriots owner Robert Kraft charged with soliciting prostitution
I can't believe we live in a society where in most places it is still illegal to pay someone for a happy ending and where Josh Gordon may never play football again, while Leveon Bell can posts pics on Instagram displaying trays of cone rolling papers and be on the verge of receiving a huge contract.

Re: NE Patriots owner Robert Kraft charged with soliciting prostitution
I didn't see the part about the human trafficking connection, so let me be clear that is absolutely disgusting, and my previous comment in now way was meant to make light of it.
That being said, Kraft may have had no idea that there was a connection, and as many massage parlors as there are that exist where I live, I think it would be a stretch to say that your average Joe Blow (no pun intended) who goes into one of these joints looking for an occasional happy ending is making that connection either.

I will be surprised if he doesn't beat these charges. He has unlimited resources to fight a misdemeanor charge. Jupiter, FL is a pretty small city of 65K. Not sure they want to tie up their resources when this dies down over a misdemeanor charge. He can spend Millions to fight this and force them to spend at those levels while forcing massive time costs of half the police force in depositions exposing all facets of their investigation.
