Robert Kraft faces backlash from Patriots fans after franchise receives poor grades from players across NFL: “What an L”

The NFLPA's annual report card was released on Wednesday and it doesn't look great for Robert Kraft and the New England Patriots. NFL players from each team were asked about different aspects of their organization, and the Patriots players weren't shy about sharing their issues.

The Patriots received a "D" for team travel, an "F-" for the treatment of their families, an "F" for the weight room and a "D+" for the team owner. There were some satisfactory grades, however: food, nutritionist and training staff all received "B-."

Fans on X were quick to judge Robert Kraft's ownership of the team, saying he wasn't doing what was right for his players and their families.

Below are some of the comments from NFL fans on X about the New England Patriots grades:

Some fans called for an ownership change for the New England Patriots, with the opinion that Kraft can no longer maintain a healthy culture in the organization.

How long has Robert Kraft owned the New England Patriots?

Robert Kraft was a longtime fan and season ticket holder for the New England Patriots before he became the team owner.

In 1994, he purchased the New England Patriots from former team owner James Orthwein for a whopping $172 million, which at the time was the biggest sale of an NFL team ever.

In 1998, Kraft considered relocating the Patriots to Connecticut with an eye to build a new stadium, but he backed out and instead built a new stadium in Foxboro with Massachusetts infrastructure funding.

Construction of Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Massachusetts, began in 2002, in conjunction with state infrastructure funds and his personal $300 million investment.

As of 2024, Kraft has owned the Patriots for 30 years, during which time the team has won six Super Bowls.
