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 ahead of his team appearing in the Super Bowl this weekend.
“What matters to me is we win Sunday,” Kraft told CNBC.
His reported omission from the Hall of Fame has him joining former Patriots coach Bill Belichick, who also was reportedly not included in this year’s class, causing an uproar over the snub.
The full honorees will be unveiled on Thursday during the “NFL Honors” ceremony in San Francisco, just days before the Patriots are set to face off with the Seattle Seahawks at the Super Bowl.
“I can’t speak on issues where other people are voting or doing things,” Kraft said on Tuesday.
As a pair, Kraft and Belichick led the Patriots to six Super Bowl wins.
