Kendrick Bourne is the latest member of the New England Patriots, current and former, to speak out against the documentary series “The Dynasty” for its portrayal of Bill Belichick.

This anti-Belichick theme sparked backlash from several Patriots players, like Devin McCourty, who was featured on the show, even saying he felt like “fooled.” Now, Bourne has entered the fray with his take on the series that many saw as a success against Belichick.

“I was a little hesitant about it because I like the historical part, but I hate the way they made Bill Belichick look. I hate the way they tried to make it look like it ‘is divided. I think every team goes through that, but when you “We’re a dynasty and you win a lot, people still try to discredit it. »
Because the name “Kraft Dynasty LLC” appears at the end of each episode’s credits, people have pointed out that Robert Kraft may have been using the show to take aim at Belichick. That said, Kraft himself has been critical of the 10-part series, saying earlier this offseason: “I felt bad that there was so much emphasis on the more controversial and, shall we say, ‘difficult’ situations during the Last 20 years. we were more focused on our Super Bowl wins, our 21-game winning streak. »
The Patriots and Belichick decided to part ways in January and the club has since named Jerod Mayo as their next head coach.
