Giants co-owner Steve Tisch supported Robert Kraft as he fought accusations of prostitution – insisting that his close friend's public apology "came from his heart".
Tisch spoke of the owner of the New England Patriots, who was one of hundreds of alleged customers trapped in a prostitution and human trafficking case in Florida, while the annual League meeting had started on Sunday.
"I think what Robert said yesterday very publicly, I think it comes from his heart," said Tisch, according to Newsday. "I think he was really talking to his family, his team, his players, his friends and fans of the Patriots. And, I think, in some ways, 31 other team owners. It's probably very, very difficult for him to make those statements. "
Tisch's co-owner, John Mara, declined to comment on Kraft's legal issues, saying, "What good could he get from commenting on this?"
He then criticized Tisch for his comments on Kraft.
"I guess you did not take the lead because of no comment," he told Tisch.
On Saturday, Kraft broke its silence since the bomb closed.
"I'm really sorry, I know I've hurt and disappointed my family, my close friends, my colleagues, our fans and many others who rightly hold me to a higher level," said the billionaire, 77 years old, in a statement.
