The league ambassador

Everyone seems to have respect for Mr. Kraft and it mainly stems from what he has done for the league.

Not only is he the owner of the most successful franchise in all of sports over the least two decades, he has become one of the faces of the NFL.

More from New England Patriots

Through his friendship and feud with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, Kraft has accepted any punishments handed down to his team from the league office.  As a team owner he understands the business nature.  He has also shown to understand the players as well.

Back in 2011, Kraft was the driving force in the NFLPA and NFL settlement agreement.  That’s where he gathered extreme respect from the likes of former Indianapolis Colts offensive lineman Jeff Saturday.

"“The big shift in this entire deal was when players and owners began to negotiate just in a room by ourselves,” Saturday said back in 2011.  “And you really began to see men’s personalities and what they believe in stand up and come out.  Robert Kraft was instrumental in getting this deal done.”"

Like he stood out back then, he recently had to mend fences between his star coach and star quarterback.  The reported tension between Bill Belichick and Tom Brady was handled by Robert Kraft in a way that ultimately led the two to put aside differences and continue the winning ways of the organization.

In summary, whatever happens to Mr. Kraft in the upcoming weeks, what he has done for New England Patriots organization, the NFL and the local communities is now in the forefront and under ridicule due to possible misdemeanor charges.

As far as throwing any out any judgement either way, base is solely off what has been reported instead of any speculation.
