NFL Conducting Its Own Fact-Finding Investigation On Patriots Owner Robert Kraft

Patriots owner Robert Kraft may not be found guilty and may actually escape punishment from the law on his solicitation charges, but the NFL won’t forget this scandal.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell revealed that the league is conducting its own fact-finding investigation. Kraft will eventually be punished based on the things they will find.

“I think we said several weeks ago, the personal conduct policy applies to everybody,” Goodell said of the scandal. “Commissioners, owners, executives, players, coaches, and it will be applied to everybody. But it will be done after we get all the facts and we have all the information. We will be fair and smart about it, and that’s what we will do.”

The Patriots owner decided to apologize for the scandal he was involved in. He released a statement to apologize but said he isn’t guilty of any of the charges.

“In deference to the judicial process, I have remained silent these past several weeks. To correct some of the misinformation surrounding this matter, my attorney made his first public comments on Friday night. I would like to use this opportunity to say something that I have wanted to say for four weeks.

“I am truly sorry. I know I have hurt and disappointed my family, my close friends, my co-workers, our fans and many others who rightfully hold me to a higher standard.

“Throughout my life, I have always tried to do the right thing. The last thing I would ever want to do is disrespect another human being. I have extraordinary respect for women; my morals and my soul were shaped by the most wonderful woman, the love of my life, who I was blessed to have as my partner for 50 years.

“As I move forward, I hope to continue to use the platform with which I have been blessed to help others and try to make a difference. I expect to be judged not by my words, but by my actions. And through those actions, I hope to regain your confidence and respect.”
