If a player had done this, said player would have been suspended. The NFL is displaying a clear double standard.
Bob Kraft should not be above the law.
I agree but you can bet Ol' Rog wasn't about to take any action against his buddy. [Reply]

How does Bob Kraft getting a prostitute hurt the NFL's brand? Pretty sure most Americans know that old billionaires who recently had their wife pass away might get a prostitute from time to time.
I just don't think it is a big deal. It'd be one thing if the girl was underage or something like that but that's not the case. [Reply]

ANY criminal offense is subject to the personal conduct policy. It doesn't matter if it's shoplifting lipstick or straight up murdering somebody.
It's a zero-tolerance policy. Do something illegal, the league punishes you. It's that simple.
Whether or not you think it's harmless is irrelevant. Players get punished for stuff like this all the time. NFL execs and owners aren't exempt. At least according to the policy, they aren't. [Reply]

Your opinion on this matter is just as irrelevant as mine. Bottom line - Kraft isn't going to be punished because of this. Owners are going to get away with more than players are. They have more money and more power. Get over it and move on.
It's a funny story but there is nothing more to see here. [Reply]

So you're not going to stand on "it's no big deal" anymore? :-) [Reply]
