Patriots Captain Angrily Criticizes Fans for Leaving Before Game Ends: "They abandoned us while the game was still on going."
Foxborough, Massachusetts – September 9, 2025
New England – The 13–20 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders in the season opener left much regret for the New England Patriots. However, beyond the disappointment of the result, the Patriots' captain expressed clear frustration upon witnessing scores of fans leaving Gillette Stadium in the final minutes.
In the post-game press conference,Henry did not hesitate to share candidly:
"We fought until the very last second. But it’s really hard to accept seeing the stands gradually empty in the final 5 minutes. We needed them there, needed their support to believe there was still a chance. Instead of giving the team strength, they abandoned us while the game was still ongoing.
For the Với Henry, what pained him was not just the loss, but the feeling of losing faith from those considered the team’s greatest source of spiritual support. He emphasized:
The Patriots aren’t just the 11 players on the field, but also the tens of thousands of hearts in the stands. We understand the feeling of disappointment, but leaving before the final whistle sounds is no different from saying that faith has been lost. And that hurts more than a defeat.
The image of Gillette Stadium’s stands, patchy with empty seats while the game clock was still ticking, was a bitter snapshot of the season opener. The Patriots clearly have much work to do to regain their strength, but the support of the fans remains an indispensable factor.
The Henry is message was directed not only at the fans who left early but also served as a call for unity. He believes that football is defined not only by victories or defeats but also by loyalty and unwavering togetherness.
With a long season still ahead, the question arises: Are Patriots fans ready to stay and stand by the team through even the toughest moments?
