18. The NFL owners would have to approve of any new buyer,

So while the don’t think Goodell could tell him he can’t sell to his son, he could indicate the other owners wouldn’t approve it.

As far as the origins of the woman are concerned, unless Kraft knew how she got there, it seems a little extreme to punish him for it. Again, a forced sale seems a little extreme (for a misdemeanor) given that other owners have been accused or even found guilty of felonies in the past and not forced to sell. If I understand correctly, although several NFL owners have been pressured to sell their team, no owner has ever actually been forced to sell. Given that this would, in a practical sense, have to be approved by other owners, and their own private life might not be all that squeaky clean, I’d be very surprised to see them go to this extreme.
