New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft responded Tuesday morning on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” to reports that he will not be included in this year’s NFL Hall of Fame class before his team plays in the Super Bowl this weekend.
“What matters to me is that we win on Sunday,” Kraft told CNBC.
His reported omission from the Hall of Fame led him to join former Patriots coach Bill Belichick, who was also reportedly not included in this year’s class, sparking an uproar over the snub.
The full names of the honorees will be revealed Thursday at the NFL Honors ceremony in San Francisco, just days before the Patriots face the Seattle Seahawks in the Super Bowl.
“I can’t speak to issues that other people vote on or do things on,” Kraft said Tuesday.
As a duo, Kraft and Belichick led the Patriots to six Super Bowl victories.
