Reader Email – Bob Kraft Revoked My Season Tickets Because My Wife Sued BassPro After Breaking Her Ankle On Their Property
Reader Email
So my wife broke her ankle in six places slipping down retaining wall at BassPro after randy moss game on Halloween October 31 2010. Pretty simple, she was following the crowd back to car and the path lead to the retaining wall and people were climbing down, she reached it and slipped down about 10 feet, no guard rail no sign no nothing, just a bit of a cliff. She filed a claim against BassPro and they shared info with the landlord (Krafts’ Foxboro Realty Advisors) in late September 2012. On Friday night October 19, 2012 the Patriots sent me an email saying as of October 16, 2012 MY (nothing to do with wife) 28 year season tickets where revoked for “unauthorized parking on October 31, 2010″. I believe they knew where I was parked because of deposition from wife or I. i was depoed in the summer about the incident by the BassPro lawyers. First time ever in my life. Either way the parking spot was legit. No signs. No attendants saying no etc.
In summary
Date of the accident – Oct 31 2010
Date of filing lawsuit – Summer 2011
Foxboro Realty notified of lawsuit - late Sept 2012
Date of receiving letter of ticket revoke – I received email revoking tickets October 19, 2012 5:36pm effective October 16, 2012. Yes, they blocked the tickets then told me
Remember I did nothing. No injury. No suit. Has nothing to do with me except revenge. My wife actually has another operation on the ankle planned for Nov 16. Maybe they did it for legal leverage, she’ll drop complaint if you give me back tickets. I don’t know. I took wife to game like a good guy. Big game too. Randy Moss comeback game.
Listen if Bob Kraft tells me he needs me to take a bullet for him I’ll take a fucking bullet. Without him the Patriots don’t exist. Everybody knows that. But let’s call a spade a spade here. This is flat ruthless. Even if we give Kraft the benefit of the doubt here and say this guy really did park illegally they are still just taking his tickets away to punish him for his wife suing BassPro. There is no other way to look at it. I mean it would be one thing if they caught him illegally parking in the act, but the only reason they even know where he parked is because of the lawsuit. It’s retroactive. Like oh you’re going to sue a property where I’m the landlord? Ok…NO FOOTBALL FOR YOU! He’s like the Soup Nazi in Seinfeld. I guess you mess with the bull you get the horns, but this is still really petty. Sure I’d probably do the same thing, but I’m a petty motherfucker. I guess you don’t become a Mogul by being Mr. Nice guy.
if anyone thinks athletes, coaches, or owners give a FUCK about the fans, then they are just plain dumb
“she’ll drop complaint if you give me back tickets” “i took wife to game”. I didnt know the geico spokesman was a pats fan
That email reads like a retard wrote it.
BassPro in Foxboro is run by a bunch of fucking pussies.
She needs a sign to know not to walk off of a cliff?
I still don’t understand what happened. The wife tried to climb down a retaining wall, broke her ankle and sued BassPro? She was walking along a retaining wall and fell?
Am I just failing at reading comprehension here or does the email just suck?
I thought I had chicken scratch, WTF Laura G?
Hey Season Ticket holder, why don’t you sue The Patriots for wrongful termination of your tickets ? Just asking ??
Don’t fuck with Jew landlords.
Drunken chicks sliding down retaining walls with ten foot drops on one side are like slow motion train wrecks, You know whats coming but you just can’t look away. Next time accept that it was your girlfriends fault. She made a bad call and had an accident. Thats nobodies fault but hers. Not lawsuit worthy imho.
This email must have been written by Danny Almonte.
game, set, match…Mr Kraft
email sucks. Why because your wife broke an ankle does that mean lawsuit. You both were just trying to cash in.
Better buy a good TV with that lawsuit money so your fatass wife can watch Real Houswives while you beat off on Sunday afternoons
Bass Pro Shops should sue her for being a stupid cunt, and they should sue this guy for being a sniveling pussy. Take some responsibility.
I wonder if the Ticket Revocation Committee meets in a giant skull in the Foxboro swamp.
Absolutely related to suing not only Bass Pro Shops, but “NPP Development” – the entity that owns the land around Gillette. On October 9, Mrs. Hagerty got a motion allowed to add NPP Development as a Defendant in her lawsuit. 7 days later, tickets revoked. If you’re gonna sue the Pats or a Patriots-related company, I can see why they wouldn’t want you as ticket holders anymore.
Nice touch referencing parking illegally on the day Hagerty broke her ankle as the reason they revoked the tickets though. Good sense of humor
If true this is a really shitty thing. With that said, I hate people who sue. The only reason you sue, in my opinion, is if someone completely fucks you over. Sucks that your wife had an accident but is it really Bass Pro’s fault? Shitty lawsuits like this drive up insurance costs, which get passed down to the public one way or the other.
Your mistakes in order of importance: 1, taking your wife to a game. 2, parking illegally then bitching about it when get caught. 3, have wife “follow crowd” on what didn’t appear to be an actual walk way but rather some bushleague shortcut. 4, fucking with an NFL team owner who obviously has better attorneys and more common sense then you and your wife combined.
I think it’s fair to say that he can lawyer up and whoop your ass on this one.
So plaintiff didn’t pay for parking and then sued BassPro for not providing safe passage from the stadium to the parking lot? “Either way the parking spot was legit. No signs. No attendants saying no etc.”
I love this. It’s great to see somebody in this lawsuit happy world get bitten in the ass by their greed. Hopefully they won’t make a nickel on their lawsuit either.
sounds like a case for Jim Sokolov – suing a business for “falling down a cliff” while walking to your car on their property?
you’re wife is drunken slob who can’t walk straight.
Don’t mess with the Kraft legal team under any circumstances
@big blue – im pretty sure there’s safe passage, it probably just doesnt include jumping a retaining wall down a cliff. last time i checked there’s plenty of paved sidewalks over there
I would sooooo love to raw dog Paula Broadwell.
I’d fucking kill that bitch. Listen buddy, it ain’t BassPro’s fault your woman is a clumsy bitch, it sure as shit ain’t Bob Kraft’s fault, and maybe it isn’t your fault. What it comes down to is your woman is a fucking goofball. Kill her. No, really kill her
So, because this cunt is a stupid klutz she sues Bass Proshop?
Love it. Your wife’s drunk ass falls off a wall and she sues the company? What did your wife need a wheelchair ramp to get to the car? Good for the Kraft’s. Nice job trying to cash in sunshine. Have fun watching the game from your couch.
Good fucking riddance. People who have had season tickets for 28 years are the ones who tell you to sit down, and the reason why Gillette has a reputation as being a soft crowd. And bringing your wife just further proves the point.
cry me a river. who gives a fuck? I am 100% behind NPP properties on this one. you sue them, your tickets go to the next person in line. it is a priviledge, not a right…even if your bullshit lawsuit had any merit at all I would agree with them taking away your tickets.
I used to date Laura Gorski. Greek all-star.
um bro, you totally deserve to have your tickets taken away. stop whining and learn to speak english.
whorefrost nailed it. As much as it is a petty move by Kraft for pulling these tickets, your wife is a clown for suing someone over her own stupidity. The truth sucks reader email guy. Tell your wife to down a few less zifandels at the next sporting event. Or do the right thing and leave her at home and not let use YOUR tickets.
I hope many more negative experiences for this clown, karma is a bitch for those who file frivolous lawsuits. Suing a business for jumping down a retaining wall, you have to be kidding me. I would say that I hope your wife loses her ankle during the next surgery, but then you will just bring a lawsuit against the doctor.
In the end, the guy agreed to the fan rules, parked illegally and the Pats are well within their rights.
Wife sued Bass Pro Shop. Patriot take away ticket. Me divorce wife. Ungabunga
so NOBODY else fell and broke their ankle but her? How many people you think scaled the wall successfully? Now that’s funny. And she sues. Dude, Kraft wins, don’t go whining like a bitch. The games aren’t so bad on your couch anyways. You and her can practice getting down walls at halftime.
NUT UP OR MOVE ON!!!
yeah, bad grammar on that one… trying to sneak in a comment during a conf call (fucking barstool is addictive, like good weed)
So, if your wives friends jumped off a cliff… ok, scratch that!
do you really need to follow ‘NO ____ FOR YOU’ with ‘He’s like the Soup Nazi in Seinfeld.’ you dumb jew? LOL, you know, like laugh out loud.
You deserve getting your tickets revoked just for bringing your wife to the game.
Hahaha what a faggot this guy is. this is no ones fault but your own. its your fault for taking your wife. its your fault for assuming she could climb down a cliff. its your fault for suing like a pussy. and its your fault for parking illegally. you fucked up. pay the 50 bucks like the rest of us and park where there are perfectly safe walkways.
So because your wife walks like a blind lemming with Down Syndrome you choose to sue the owner of the concrete she threw herself down?
You should have your tickets to America revoked.
“Fuck you, pussy!”
Your tickets should be revoked, you and your wife are assholes. You followed the crowd over a cliff and she broker her ankle. That is an accident, why should bass pro have to pay anything for her mistake.
Why not go jump off Mt Washington and sue because there was not a sign that said “Don’t jump”?
Team Kraft is probably going to make you sign a document that you won’t ever go to Patriot Place again. Have fun with that.
rhodyjoe, SOLID.
10 bucks said portnoy posts this shit email and pretends to almost side with this guy for the pure reason he knew commenters would rip this flaming ass hole apart.
There’s a ticket revocation “committee”?
another dumbfk sue crazy asshole,, oh my wifes a idiot and broke her ankle because she has no common sense so let me sue whoever i can. And then you have the nerve to email barstool to whine there cancellling your tickets. your a fkn dick
Nice frivolous lawsuit, douchebag. Quit wasting everyone’s time and tax dollars with your gold digging wife’s frail bones and the herd of cattle she followed off a cliff apparently. BassPro doesn’t owe you a dime for being retarded. Can you block his IP address so he can’t read Barstool anymore either? Except for this blog post, so he knows what a twatwaffle he is.
Also, where were you when your wife was falling down a cliff? You were nice/gay enough to bring her to a game but you couldn’t help her down a wall?
Prez, why are you such a pinko douchebag. It’s a fucking fact that you WOULD do the same thing. As a business owner to the customer, “Slap me with a lawsuit, stay the fuck out of my ballpark?” I’m sure this fucking klutz was totally sober when she fell hard enough that she needs ankle surgery!
If there’s no guard rail or sign and I break something? you better trucking believe I’m suing the shit out of anyone involved. You guys allergic to money? Get fucking real. Opportunities to cash out don’t come around every day. That being said, I don’t feel bad that Kraft took his tickets. Like pres said, mess with the bull…
You had to take on the system …what did you think would happen
People who have businesses as the krafts do have a legal team that is a mile long. Billing hours matter. enjoy the 5k you will sign off on
So you essentially sued the Patriots and you’re surprised they took your season tickets away? Idiot.
So you park somewhere you need to rappel down a mountain to get to, and you sue because your wifes brain shut off halfway there. I wouldn’t want you anywhere in or near my stadium either.
Not sure why you climbed down a retaining wall to leave the game. They have these things there called sidewalks. Use them.
“Pretty simple,” he says. Sounds like she was simply too fat, lazy, and drunk to walk around the retaining wall. Dummies.
whyalwaysme sounds like a bitch
This week on lllllllllllaaaaaawwwwsuit lottery. I can’t stand these people. Tickets taken away is fine but they should also be held responsible for court fees, lawyer fees of defendant, and any time used by the defendant. There are people who have no other occupation other than bringing lawsuits. In this situation, the wife fell. So that’s the fault of BassPro??? No. It should go way beyond the minor penalty of losing season tickets.
it’s your own fault for being a Pat’s fan
“Wife or me” dipshit!!
And…….you might have been able to deny she attended the game with you and may have gone shopping at Patriots Place or something else, but you fucked that up by admitting she was at the game, you parked illegally and were dumb enough to follow a crowd and not on a proper walkway / pathway with this email to the stool!!!
Dumb, whiny ass bitch!!!
Use some common sense and have your wife take some responsibility for your wife’s stupidity and careless actions.
PS – Laura Gorski needs to work on her signature!!! Clean that shit up!
Woody Bemho
Fucking bitches
Guess their ruthless leveraging extends to the fans as well as the players.
How many thousands of people on the waiting list to get season tickets? Maybe he would prefer to business with those that aren’t trying to get a piece of him. Or maybe he gave your seat to the POWs, you insensitive prick.
It’s also possible the woman’s insurance company got involved. I know when my wife broke her ankle on someone else’s property our medical insurance company kept asking us for more information. Why? Because they wanted to see if they had a case to go after the owner of the property to pay up.
That’s the way the system works. If you get injured on someone else’s property you pretty much have to sue them in order to get your bills paid.
You deserved to lose the tix.
And, you deserve to lose the lawsuit.
And, when you do, you deserve to pay the defendant’s legal fees.
Douchebag move parking illegally then suing the property owner after your clumsy wife falls. Karma is a bitch.
This might have been my favorite bunch of comments ever. I came on here expecting to have to defend the Krafts but all I’m doing now is just piling on. Well done guys. I hope their lawyers can make these e-mail admissible now too and drown your wifes stupid fucking lawsuits. I would wager a large sum of money that you and your dumb wife didn’t describe the accident in your depositions as trying to climb down a 10 foot retaining wall. I’ve had my tickets for 18 years, and I can’t wait to check the upgrade box next year on my renewal slide in to your seats. Assholes.
“Violations to this policy – by season ticket holders subject the account, among other things, the loss of ticket privileges.” No chance this sentence was written by an actual employee of the Patriots. Sounds like something that came from the brain that brought us “she was following the crowd back to car and the path lead to the retaining wall”
Why was she out of the kitchen?
Agreed, Wolf Pack. Maybe the best comment section ever. You idiots make me proud.
sounds like your wife is a dumb cunt and so are you. tell her to get off her back and earn her money, cunt.
Sweet. Looks like I just moved up 2 spaces on the season ticket waiting list.
Best comment section ever? slow your roll…

Typical Americunt looking to make some easy money. Get your story straight. And the fuck you’re using the same line over and over again…”there were no signs”. Do we need to tell your retarded ass how to make every single move?
If your wife fell because she was too stupid to use designated walkways, then she well deserved it.
