1.) This has nothing to do with the New England Patriots. It has to do with a man, who happens to own them.

2.) Even if it was just a rub-and-tug, it's illegal and he'll pay the legal penalty.

3.) If it turns out there's sex trafficking, even if he didn't know, he'll pay a bigger penalty.

4.) If he knew about the sex trafficking, he'll pay an even bigger penalty.

5.) Goodell will take no sanctions on the team. So stop jerking off to the thought that they're losing draft picks or something.

6.) Goodell probably WILL take sanctions on Kraft. He will use this opportunity as a power play to remove Kraft's tentacles from the NFL. Whatever power Kraft exerted over committees, owners, et cetera, is gone. Goodell may go so far as to insist Kraft relinquish the team.

7.) And Kraft will do so... to his kids. Jonathan Kraft is already in charge of the family holdings and is the President of the Patriots. Ol' Viagra Bob will simply officially cede all ownership to his son. Which he was probably going to do soon anyway, considering Bob is going to be 78 in June. (Which begs the question, was it really even worth it, since whatever she was rubbing and tugging was probably deader than a doornail.)

Whatever legal penalties he pays will pale in comparison to the loss of his stature and whatever respect he had garnered. In the blink of an eye (or the yank of a hand) he's gone from admirable businessman to water-cooler joke (at best) or perverted sex field (at worst).
