Robert Kraft Invites Patriots Fan To New England After Video Of Him Getting Mocked Following Loss
One man is getting rewarded for his patience after a recent New England Patriots game because patience is a virtue. Robert Kraft, the owner of the Patriots, issued an invitation to Jerry Edmond, a supporter who had been subjected to verbal abuse following Sunday’s dramatic loss to the Raiders in Las Vegas.

In a now-viral video, a Raiders supporter wearing a jersey for Derek Carr scolded the composed Edmond before another fan hugged her during the heated altercation.
Edmond was given a ticket, a customised jersey, and access to the Patriots’ game versus the Bengals on December 24 by Kraft personally.
Edmond, who was watching his first NFL game, explained why he remained still the entire time.

According to reports, Edmond came to Vegas for the game expecting some “flack from Raiders fans,” but ended up receiving more than he bargained for.
On Wednesday, Sandra Douglass Morgan, the president of the Raiders, commended Edmond for his outstanding conduct.
“On behalf of the Raiders, let me express my appreciation for your behaviour. No fan should have to put up with that kind of treatment. We’ll get back to you,” stated Douglass Morgan.
Edmond participated in an Instagram live chat with Brian Babz, the person who first shared the video, where he recalled the incident that resulted in the unusual outburst.

“For the most part of the first half I was silent because the Raiders were up. They already were chirping and I guess one of the things I said that got her to come towards me was every time (quarterback) Derek Carr messed up, I’d scream ‘That’s the Derek Carr I know.’”
Kraft’s invite to Saturday’s game isn’t the only NFL game in Edmond’s future, as ticket provider TickPick has offered tickets to another game.
“Let us know if there’s another NFL game you want to attend in the future,” The third-party ticket resale company said. “We got you on tickets.”
