This morning Patriots owner Robert Kraft was charged for soliciting sex at a massage parlor in Jupiter, Florida. Obviously, not a good look for the man that is responsible for the most successful sports franchise the last two decades. Personally, I prefer the 77 year old owner of my favorite sports team to NOT be named in a massive sex ring bust shortly after bringing yet another Super Bowl to this beautiful city.
That being said, is this really THAT big of a deal for Bob Kraft? He wasn’t the ring leader. He doesn’t own the spa. He certainly isn’t flying Air Kraft One over to China and promising these girls they will be Patriots cheerleaders then sticking them in a spa. He, like many others before him and many more to come, wanted a noncommittal rub n tug. A single man looking for some company on a sunny day in Florida. I bet if you look around the room, office, grocery store, etc. that you’re currently in, 75% of the males in that room have driven down to Pawtucket a few hours early for a PawSox game to get some muscles worked out. Hell, even Johnny Drama needed to blow off some steam when 5 Towns premiered.
PS: There’s reports out there that Kraft isn’t the biggest name in this scandal. How that’s possible I’m not sure, but I wouldn’t be shocked if a certain athlete named after a jungle cat is also on that list.
Double PS: I know the hashtag I used in the title is a bit of a mouthful so I’m open to suggestions. Some of the better ones I’ve seen are #TheTugRule #FellateGate #MasturGate #SpaGate and #EjacuGate. Personally I’m in favor of #EjacuGate but seeing any news reporter from CNN or Fox News use any of these would bring a smile to my face.
