This gesture is going to save rhe lives of medical professionals. My brother is a clinical pharmacist in a Fl. Hospital. He told me these masks are worth more to him than his car at this point. He has one to use for an entire day and if anyone has worn one of these, you sweat like crazy when it's on so it isn't ideal to use one for the whole day. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pdxgreen Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 I have no problem with the man personally. It's the cheating scumbag, conniving ##!@! of an organization he owns that I have a problem with. That part of his life can go screw or get bad tug job. But what Robert Kraft did is very admirable and I hope more people follow his example. I don't put sports fanaticism over the public welfare. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New York Mick Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Any mask is so hard to find right now, we’ve been wearing cut off shirt sleeves. I had a service call the last two days fixing lighting in an old smoke filled ceiling with 30 years of rat poop, roaches and nicotine. I would of paid triple to get mask for me and my guys. Obviously the medical field needs them 100 times more then us so we’ll done on his part. Shouldn’t Johnson and Johnson be able to contribute some stuff? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defense Wins Championships Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 So 300,000 masks from China, great, isn't China the place where this thing came from and originated at? I'm sorry but I'll never trust anything from China again regardless a very kind and caring move from Kraft. I'm in Florida and it's getting bad but not 500 New Yorkers dead past 1 day type (yet) this feels like a human genocide. 250 dead in NY just cpl days prior. Wtf. My aunt and 9 cousins still live in S. Ozone Park Queens I don't like the sight or thought of this. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kleckineau Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 What Kraft did was wonderful and he deserves plaudits. His personal life has nothing to do with this. Nothing. Very few if any people live a perfect life. So he wanted a handy. BFD. This J&J thing gets repeated here all the time. The owners of the Jets have nothing to do with Johnson & Johnson and havent for decades so forget this angle that the Jets owners are responsible for what that multinational corp. does or doesnt do. They do not own J&J. I have no idea how long Bob Kraft has been into philanthropy but I do know that W. Johnson has been fundraising for medical research and building hospitals and more for decades and is not new to the game so why use Krafts generosity as a way to slight Johnson? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgb Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 It's always funny how fans have the image that everyone associated with a rival team is basically evil.

JTJet Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 19 minutes ago, Jet Nut said: What does that do to change what Kraft did? This is a funny question to ask. So how does buying the masks change what Kraft did in regards to supporting human trafficking? Which was my point. If Ed Gacy donated to the boy scouts after murdering several boys, would he be heaped with praise? Sorry, but no. I've helped and talked to quite literally hundreds of ladies that have been trafficked in scenarios that Robert Kraft supported. Again, while I'm glad he bought them, buying the masks does not somehow absolve him from that transgression, or make him "ok in my book" as OP suggested. He gets a firm "thanks", and that's it. But to somehow begin to allow a narrative to form that the man is some sort of humanitarian, is silly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
