Kraft’s declaration is expected to have a significant impact, not only on the Patriots but also on the broader debate surrounding athletes’ rights to protest during sports events.

In a statement addressing the decision, Kraft emphasized the importance of respecting the flag and the anthem while acknowledging the need for continued social justice efforts. “While we support players in their fight for equality, Gillette Stadium will be a place where we honor the national anthem without protest. There are other ways to advocate for change, and we will continue to work together with our team to make a difference off the field,” Kraft said.
