Robert Kraft is not pleased about one NFL owner's Hall of Fame induction ahead of his

After all of the unimaginable success the Patriots accomplished throughout the 20-year dynasty, wreaking havoc over the rest of the NFL, it was the least bit surprising to see some of their most talented players be snubbed from their rightful spot in the Hall of Fame over the years. Several impressive names have taken far too long to be inducted, and that will likely continue as more players become eligible in the next few years.

It has become a hot topic in New England, especially since guys like Rodney Harrison and Vince Wilfork are continuously being snubbed, something even Bill Belichick has expressed frustration over. The anger was slightly subsided when Richard Seymour was finally chosen in 2022.

While fans sighed with relief, another top candidate has been considered yet no induction for several years with no end in sight: Patriots owner Robert Kraft.

His campaign to make the NFL Hall of Fame began in 2012 and has remained on the outside looking in while other owners, like former 49ers owner Eddie DeBartolo Jr. and Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, have gotten the call long before him.

ESPN's Don Van Natta Jr. detailed Kraft's push to be named among the best in a new article published on Wednesday. In it, he revealed some of the Patriots' owner's behind-the-scenes feelings about being snubbed for over a decade.

Robert Kraft was not shy about his frustration with Jerry Jones being enshrined ahead of him

Among the countless interesting tidbits in Van Natta's article, perhaps the most eye-popping detail is Kraft's frustration over Jerry Jones's induction into the Hall in 2017. Their tension-filled relationship is no secret, so it certainly makes sense.

However, hearing what he allegedly told someone close to him upon hearing Jones was inducted is fascinating, yet also funny from a Patriots fan's perspective.

"Jerry Jones was inducted in August 2017. The Dallas Cowboys owner threw himself a glitzy party in Canton, headlined by Justin Timberlake. Back in Foxborough, Kraft and his supporters reacted to Jones' induction with anger and confusion. They seethed that Hall voters didn't seem to appreciate Kraft's work to grow the league through media and labor deals, and the Patriots' unparalleled dynasty.

Kraft saw the selection of his archrival as an insult, a verdict that Jones is more responsible for the NFL's astonishing success.

"He hasn't been to the NFC title game in two decades and he gets in?" Kraft told a confidant. "How does that work?"

At the time, the Patriots had already won five Super Bowls since the Bill Belichick and Tom Brady era began and would eventually play in Super Bowl LII at the end of the 2017 season. That seems like enough accomplishments for an owner to be inducted ahead of Jones, right?

The Patriots lost that championship battle but beat the Rams a year later in Super Bowl LIII to take home their sixth Lombardi in almost 20 years.

Because Kraft continues to be snubbed, it's more than obvious the league has a vendetta against a man whose team has been accused of multiple controversies. Instead of focusing on what the Patriots' dynasty did for the NFL and how much Kraft has contributed to the league's success in numerous ways, the Hall voters would rather take a stand against Kraft by keeping him out and frustrating millions of fans across the globe.

Now that it's getting so much publicity and more people are becoming aware of what appears to be happening, Kraft will get his call sooner rather than later.

That might be wishful thinking from fans who believe he deserves it, but it seems like the right thing for the league to do for one of the most successful owners the NFL has ever seen.
