News and commentary: progress in work
NFL player (or ex-NFL player) Antonio Brown threw some shade on New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft in a now-deleted tweet when the team released him on September 20 after he appeared in one game. The Oakland Raiders previously cut Brown from the roster earlier this month.
In a big win for New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, a Florida judge has ordered the suppression of secretly recorded massage parlor videos. That means the evidence can not be included as part of the trial proceedings, if there is a trial. Kraft’s attorneys will reportedly seek a dismissal of the case as early as tomorrow.
A Florida judge has temporarily blocked the release of surveillance video of Robert Kraft and others allegedly engaged in illegal acts at a Jupiter massage parlor. The Palm Beach County State Attorney had earlier today announced that under Florida’s public records law it planned to release pixelated versions those surveilled at the spa including New England Patriots owner Kraft. Now, everything is on hold until an April 29 court hearing. The notice by the prosecutors office seems like an attempt to intimidate or strong-arm Kraft into dropping his not-guilty plea and request for a jury trial and instead plead out. It’s interesting that liberal mainstream news media/sports media — which is intent on getting its hands on the footage — has abandoned its traditional professed concern for civil liberties when it comes to Mr. Kraft, 77. Despite all the initial spiking of the football, so to speak, Florida authorities have abandoned claims that human trafficking was in play at the spa.
Attorneys for Robert Kraft and Palm Beach, County, Fla, prosecutors are still jockeying for position in the pending criminal case against the billionaire New England Patriots owner. It appears, however, that apart from the authorities’ initial splashy press conference and some subsequent comments, no evidence of human trafficking at the Jupiter, Fla., massage parlor has apparently emerged. This raises a fundamental question: Shouldn’t local cops be investigating or preventing serious felonies rather than spending/wasting time pursuing low-level charges against Mr. Kraft and other spa customers. If human trafficking was really going on, cops in the multi-county investigation were duty-bound to immediately rescue the women held against their will and shut down the locations rather than investigate for six months or so. Although prostitution is obviously illegal in Florida, morality aside, it appears that the scenario revolves around consenting adults engaging in commerce.
NBA superstar LeBron James, the self-proclaimed greatest player of all time, made headlines recently by accusing NFL owners of harboring a slave mentality and also sharing anti-Semitic rap lyrics on his Instagram page. FS1 panelist and Fox Sports Radio host Clay Travis says that LBJ benefits from athlete privilege enabled, in large part, by the fawning liberal sports media. Plus, the Lakers luminary himself could be a something of a modern-day slave master for his Nike sneaker deal, Travis argued.
