Photo: New York Newspaper Honors Patriots With Front-Page Display After Mask Shipment

Robert Kraft and his New England Patriots delivered 300,000 N95 protective masks to New York City. This was part of the efforts to stop the spread of COVID-19. The New York Post expressed gratitude for the help, and it was wonderful. NFL rivals joined forces to help the nation win this battle.

What did NYC do?

“Something we thought we’d never say … ” The newspaper wrote on the front page of Saturday’s print edition.

The New York Post front page also featured a picture of the Patriots’ truck which delivered the masks. “THANK YOU PATS” and “Rival New England delivers 300,000 masks to NYC” was written all over the page.

Robert Kraft brought 1 million protective masks from China to the US this week. The Patriots owner used the team’s aircraft to transport the masks.

New York may see more help from the Patriots

Patriots public relations guru Stacey James was impressed with the way NYC honored his team. “Something I thought I’d never read … in a New York paper. I love this!,” James tweeted Saturday.

This happened right Kraft addressed the donation to NYC. “I just thought it might be cool if the owner of the New England Patriots is doing whatever he can to help Jets and Giants fans have better health,” the Patriots owner said.

Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker welcomed the plane on Thursday. He delivered an emotional statement and thanked the Patriots owner for the big gesture. Kraft helped the state in the most difficult times. The number of infected Americans in Massachusetts has reached dangerous heights. Although authorities do their best to control the spread of COVID-19, locals still ignore the warnings. NYC was also hit terribly.

Sadly, not everyone expressed gratitude for the donation. Jemele Hill criticized Kraft for being friends with President Donald Trump. She picked the worst moment to make these comments. Kraft did an incredible thing for locals, and he’s been helping front line heroes. The situation doesn’t look good at all. Hopefully, authorities will win this battle. Over one million people received positive results and we won’t be seeing the end in the near future.
