Patriots fan starts GoFundMe page to help billionaire owner, Robert Kraft, pay $1 million fine

[Cali_Democrat]

Instead of setting up a page for the victims of the Nepal quake, some idiotic New England Patriots fan wants to help the team pay a $1 million fine.....a fine the team can easily afford to pay.

Fucking pathetic.

In addition to the suspension of quarterback Tom Brady over #Deflategate, the New England Patriots were also fined $1 million for its role in the deflation of footballs in last year’s playoff game against the Indianapolis Colts. However will the team, valued at $2.6 billion, pay the fine?

To help the victims of Hurricane Hubris, one fan has established a GoFundMe page to help the victims of #Deflategate, which is currently up to $185.

“We obviously know we won’t reach One Million Dollars, however we do believe the fine is bulls**t and want to help anyway we can,” the site’s creator wrote. “So whatever is donated will be donated to the New England Patriots in help with the fine!” He promised to deliver the money himself if enough was raised.

Rumors that the two employees indefinitely suspended for their central participation in the scandal could probably use the cash more than the team went unconfirmed at press time.

3. And watch it make $2 Million and the cheating will go on.

I don't do sports unless forced to by work.

Had to attend last Saturday's Giants game. Had access to a suite, enjoyed the food and chit chat, left after the fifth inning, don't even know the outcome and I forgot who they were playing.

12. The cheating will go on either way. nt.

31. Here is the sports I do

the off the field games. Ah yes, the politics and cheating of cities. Now THAT is a game, with few rules if any, and no refs.

football players are not the only people with brain damage.

5. For crying out loud!

7. As I see it the Patriots are "making" 1 million dollars. They are not having to pay

Brady for 4 games which equals 2 million dollars. 1 minus 2 equals 1 so they're making 1 million by not having to pay Brady. The draft is a pig in the poke deal anyway. Some of the top picks from the past have turned out to be failures.

8. If that's for real and gets to the Patriots office, if they have even a shred of decency, they will

donate it all to charity.

9. Please tell me this is a joke.

It is, isn't it?

10. Well

If a homophobic pizza parlor can make money are you surprised someone started this drive?

[Initech]

11. Ha, like the Patriots need any help.

$1 million to a multi billion dollar franchise is pocket change.

13. Maybe a GoFundMe proxy set it up

GoFundMe gets quite a cut of incoming funds.

Clearly, people think the economy's in good enough shape that they have disposable income to waste...
