You mean Robert Kraft is a cheating douchbag?

Who pays young women to jerk him off when getting massages.

Edit: apologies. To me, 40 is still relatively young, especially compared to a man decades older than them, but I understand why my vocabulary choice was confusing. But thatā€™s also why I used the word women.

Deshaun Watson got rightfully raked over the coals for his predatory shit. Robert Kraft? Not a peep.

I donā€™t know why everyone thinks thatā€™s White?

Raked over the coals? He got the largest guaranteed contract in football history after he settled. We have different ideas of what raked over the coals means I guess

Also, I'm pretty sure he was a starting QB this week for an NFL team, which would be weird for someone who actually had consequences for his actions.

But he didn't kneel during the anthem!/s

Well it was done by the most inept franchise in professional sports so there's that wiggle room.

u/RuckusTamos3 Sep 14 '26

Most inept? Jets fans are furious right now

Did he? He's getting paid hundreds of millions of dollars to not even play, and that came AFTER the assault allegations.

u/PokesBo Sep 14 '26

Yeah. Maybe not monetarily raked over the coals but his reputation is utter shit now.

u/grumplebeardog Sep 14 '26

So is Kraftā€™s, jokes get made about rub and tugs every time he is brought up.

u/flammable-liquid Sep 14 '26

Yeah, but still in the NFL, no matter who you are, if you play good enough people will "forget". If Watson plays like shit the rest of his career, he will be outcasted fairly quickly because no one will take a chance on someone with a bad rep and bad skills. He wins a superbowl this year???? He will become the highest paid QB again with multiple teams begging

u/boringinternet2020 Sep 14 '26

Utter shit would mean he has no ability to continue to earn money in the same manner. Youā€™re absolutely and unequivocally incorrect here

u/boringinternet2020 Sep 14 '26

LOLOL. Watson got the biggest contract ever AFTERWARD. Love that you got 40+ upvotes from other delusional ā€œallies.ā€ Whatā€™s next? OJ was framed?

u/youdownwithopp Sep 14 '26

they both got the same treatment

u/Same_Concern9454 Sep 14 '26

I mean thereā€™s a major difference between being a serial sexual predator and paying for what was ostensibly a consensual transaction. And this isnā€™t defending Kraft, Iā€™m sure anyone with eye could tell human trafficking was part of that place. But boiling the difference down to race is incredibly irresponsible

u/Revolutionary_Mix293 Sep 14 '26

Yeah because Robert Kraft gets so much love compared to Deshaun Watson

u/lathspellll Sep 14 '26

Heā€™s not welcome in our social club anymore, that much I do know.

kraft got consensual handjobs, watson sexually assaulted women

u/MilkyChongBop Sep 14 '26

Not disagreeing that both individuals need to be held responsible and in low esteem, but thereā€™s a few degrees of difference between their two situations (appearance is definitely one of them though, no objections there). Watson is more focalized by the nature of his role on the Browns, and has been more outspoken in his refutal of responsibility. Kraft is part of the ownership class, his previous hijinks happened further from the public eye and were frankly overshadowed by more insidious owners like Snyder and Jerry Jones.

One of them sexually assaulted 26 women.

The other paid a 60 year old consenting woman who owned the business to willingly jerk him off.

You really think that difference is negligible and it's a black and white thing?
