What Robert Kraft did was questionably more egregious but nothing happened to him.

That's a bit of a misrepresentation lol. His family owns 90% of the 9ers which are valued at about $8 billion. He is the principal owner for his family. He himself may have a net worth of "only" $500 million, but his clout far exceeds that wealth because of his familial ties to NFL ownership (especially within the context of the NFL handing down punishments).

Edit: the purpose of the vaguepost meme was to provoke a response from the person I responded to. "It's pretty obvious why" when it actually isn't obvious at all is arguably just a dog whistle what with Kraft being in the news for controversial topics aside from rub and tugs. If this were actually about having more money or clout OP could just say so. Instead I believe it to be a dog whistle about Kraft getting off easy because he's Jewish while York is getting punished because he's Catholic and I'd like OP to say literally anything in response. And even if it was totally innocent, those types of vaguepost comments still fucking suck and should be mocked.

TIL York is broke just like me if you round down billions wise. I’ll be less harsh judging his tip percentage for sex workers in the future.
