It's KRAFT, cheese and macaroni

Have you ever seen the old TV show, "V"? Or the movie, "Disturbing Behavior"? Well, in these, as well as in a few of other movies and television shows, the controlling faction manages to take someone that is completely against "the system" and turn them into advocates for "the system". Tell me, why would a billionaire, business man like Robert Kraft decide to take the "plea" and the subsequent sentencing that came along with it if he felt, like we all seen, a true injustice was being done? He gave, what I would call, a concession speech, stating his stance and what he supposedly believed, all the while, rolling with the NFL's assessment of the situation. In the mini-series "V", there was a senator completely against the ideas for the future as seen by the "visitors" from another world(spoiler alert, although this came out in the 1980's). This senator is then last seen being led to a meeting with the SUPREME COMMANDER. Shortly after, let's say a a day or so, this same senator publicly speaks on his voluntary compliance with all the "visitors" have to say in regards to their vision of the future. So, the interesting part of this is that it comes after league owners and other league officials are together preparing for league meetings. I guess I can't say that I'm not surprised by his decision, I'm more surprised and disappointed as to how it happened. The case against the NFL, violating its own policies was very strong and only getting stronger. So why pull out, was the condom about to break? In the words of Riggs and Murtaugh... "Its too thin!" 

My respect for Mr. Kraft was growing, believing he was willing to fight for what's right. Which has been the opposite, in these recent times, in this new world where so many public figures conform to public opinion that it seems no one knows how to make decisions without polling the public first. Or even changing their past opinions to make the "public" feel better. The NFL's decision regarding the New England Patriots, its staff, and Tom Brady was all about public opinion because their own rules, guidelines, policies or whatever you wish to call them at this point, were already in place and were thrown out the window so the commissioner, Robert Goodell could save face. My speculation: with the assistance from other owners, Mr Goodell managed to "sway" his ole friend by asking him one question... "What's for lunch?"
