They put the encryption key on the camera. Then acted shocked when somebody opened it.
The way Robert Kraft collaborated with other NFL owners to get Macklemore kicked off of Ed Sheeran's tour speaks to why Colin Kaepernick was never given another shot after taking a knee for racial justice. Many teams could have brought him in when needed. Instead, they hired far less qualified quarterbacks.
Billionaires are a cancer to society.
