Over the years, the NFL has made every possible attempt to have a societal impact. Whether it’s Colin Kaepernick taking a knee or Aaron Rodgers raising concerns about the vaccine, almost every single social issue has been raised to some degree. Despite their seemingly harmless intentions, both Rodgers and Kaepernick faced judgments and scrutiny. However, the same is not true for the owner of New England Patriots Robert Kraft.

Despite the enormous success he has seen over the years, billionaire Robert Kraft has stayed true to his roots and continues speaking the truth. Hailing from a modern orthodox Jewish family, Kraft is also too aware of the atrocities the Jewish community had to undergo, and recently another sporting legend joined Kraft in his quest.

According to Kraft, over half of the American population is unaware of the problems stemming from antisemitism and claimed that the Jewish community is prone to 55% of hate crimes. Kraft and his efforts are continually making an impact on the community as recently Legendary American boxer  Mike Tyson joined the initiative.
