Robert Kraft, owner of the New England Patriots, speaks exclusively about his fight against anti-Semitism, his visit to the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp and Jewish-Arab football teams.
Robert K. Kraft, 82 years old, is the owner of the professional football team New England Patriots. Since its takeover in 1994, the team from Foxborough near Boston has won the Super Bowl six times in the National Football League, making the Patriots the most successful team in the NFL with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Kraft, who also owns the professional soccer team New England Revolution, is a major donor to American politics. He supported Donald Trump’s inauguration in 2017 with $1 million. He previously donated to Barack Obama. His fortune is estimated at $11.1 billion (10.4 billion euros). The “Kraft Group” is primarily active in the paper and packaging industry.
Mr. Kraft, you have been committed to the fight against anti-Semitism in society and in sport for years. Why is this topic so important to you?
