The transcript of the statement made by New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft on Tuesday. Transcript provided by the New England Patriots:
It's been an emotionally charged couple of weeks, as all of you know. I've been considering what my options are. Throughout this whole process, there have been two polarizing audiences. At one end of the spectrum, we've had Patriots fans throughout the country who have been so supportive and really inspirational to us and believing in us. I'm also mindful at the other end of the spectrum there are fans that feel just the opposite. What I've learned is the ongoing rhetoric continues to galvanize both camps and I don't see that changing, and they will never agree.
