Keep in mind that I ****ing hate the Patriots and I don't at all agree with Kraft's political positions. But I'll take a stab at this.
After Marcus Peters kneeled, Kraft would have immediately called Peters into his office. Tells him to stop kneeling. Offers to support his cause if he cooperates. Kraft makes a statement apologizing for Peters while trying to showcase Peters' cause.
New England fans taunting Peters on the sideline during a win streak would get socked in the face. ESPN comments sections would be littered with Pats fans defending the living shit out of Peters. Know how I know this? Because they defended a mass murderer and serial cheaters with fury.
Peters throws the flag into the crowd. Bellichick chews Peters' ass out. Then he goes to his press conference and grumpily chews the living shit out of the refs who called a shitty game.
Peters chews out his coaches. Bellichick chews Peters the **** out. Then he goes to his coaching staff and asks them why the **** they are running that shitty defense, and that DC would never make that mistake again.
That's what an organization does when the owner takes charge, when the fans have your back, and the coach can give tough love while also fixing the problem the player is griping about.
