    Good point. That seems very likely. The NFL was ready to ignore Ray Rice and Kareem Hunt until the videos leaked.

    He even promised to accept whatever punishment the league determined was appropriate for Deflategate even as Coach Hoodie was doing his pseudo-Bill Nye thing to try to debunk the claim that his team cheated. Of course, Kraft went back on his word because he didn't like the punishment.

    Most of the other men caught in this don't have the means to do what Kraft did, which is expose a crucial flaw in the police work. If Kraft weren't involved, the state would have gotten away with it, which is a result nobody should want.

    A constitutional expectation of privacy in another persons place of business while performing an illegal act is a pure canard and legal fiction. And remember that if he’s recorded putting a gun to the sex worker’s head and forcing a sex act, the outcome is the same. We are cavalier because we assume a consensual business arrangement, an assumption that ultimately is also a fiction.

    No, rich man power.

    Look at it from the point of view of the ends (and his means). It's a misdemeanor that would have carried a small fine. Instead, he still suffered being a punchline in the whole thing -- something he'll skate away from because he's a rich man and the owner of the Patriots. But he ended up paying a team of lawyers a ridiculous sum of money to fight it rather than just paying a $750 fine or whatever.

    So in the end, it's not like he benefitted all that much from being able to afford a legal team that others couldn't.

    When it comes to balls, the Pats get away with everything.
