Robert Kraft
Physique: Average Build Height: 5’ 7" (1.7 m)
Robert Kenneth Kraft (born June 5, 1941) is an American billionaire businessman. He is the founder, chairman and CEO of the Kraft Group, a diversified holding company with assets in paper and packaging, sports and entertainment, real estate development, and a private equity portfolio. He is internationally recognized as the owner of the six-time Super Bowl winning NFL franchise, the New England Patriots. He also owns the New England Revolution of MLS, which he founded in 1996, and the esport-based Boston Uprising, which Kraft founded in 2017. As of July 2024, he has an estimated net worth of US$11.1 billion according to Forbes.
Born in Brookline, MA, after earning a bachelor’s degree (1963) at Columbia University and an M.B.A. (1965) at Harvard Business School, Kraft went to work at Rand-Whitney, a manufacturer of paper packaging that was controlled by his father-in-law, Jacob Hiatt. Kraft bought out half of Hiatt’s interest in 1968 and took complete control in 1972. In 1972 he founded International Forest Products to trade in wood, pulp, and paper products. He created the Kraft Group in 1998 as a holding company for Rand-Whitney, International Forest Products, and his family’s other interests, most notably in the field of sports.
Kraft’s first sports-related venture was the Boston Lobsters, a team in Billie Jean King’s World Team Tennis (WTT) league. He acquired the New England Patriots in January 1994, paying $172 million, the highest price for an NFL team up to that time. In 2000 Kraft hired Bill Belichick as head coach, and the move helped transform the Patriots into one of the NFL’s dominant teams, winning six Super Bowls (2002, 2004, 2005, 2015, 2017, and 2019). In 1996 Kraft and his family also founded the New England Revolution, which played in the Major League Soccer league.
Lets see… twice married, Kraft married Myra Nathalie Hiatt in 1963 and together the couple had four sons: Jonathan A. Kraft, Daniel A. Kraft, Joshua M. Kraft, and David H. Kraft. She died on July 20, 2011, of ovarian cancer, at the age of 68. In June 2012, Kraft began dating actress Ricki Noel Lander, who was 38 years his junior, later breaking up in 2018. In 2019, Kraft was charged with two counts of soliciting prostitution, but the charges were dropped the following year. In 2022, Kraft married his partner, Dana Blumberg.
Kraft proves two theories of mine. First: He as more than two children, so my loves to fuck theory applies. Second: If a man who was married for a long time (over 45 years) and loses his wife by divorce or in this case, death. Would go CRAZY for some new strange. He’s fucking a twenty something model/wanna be actress, getting blow jobs at cheap massage parlors and hanging around rappers. Strippers/groupies anyone. And included in all that, experimenting in man on man sex. Allegedly. Allegedly. But you can’t tell me he hasn’t had his dick sucked by a man.
Career Highlights and Awards 6× Super Bowl champion (XXXVI, XXXVIII, XXXIX, XLIX, LI, LIII) George Halas Award (2012) Theodore Roosevelt Award (2006) U.S. Open Cup (2007)

The NHL has asked me to do stuff for them, whether that be social media, or interviews, or little promo things here and there, and I've always been willing to do it. And I kinda have been like their flag-bearer a little bit, like the token gay that they're kind of using to show that hockey is for everyone even though they're doing stuff on the outside that's completely opposite. So it felt like a stab in the back, a little bit, from them.
--Luke Prokop on the NHL's pride tape ban (starting at ~27:00)
#this is the newsy pull quote but the entire interview is a delight#the info about the logistics of his coming out was fascinating#and his thoughts about the preds' new owner being a former governor responsible for anti-gay legislation#and also they made him pick NFL games based on the relative hotness of the QBs so that was fantastic#my d partner luke prokop

i dont get why people are so fucked about it being the walter cup?? like thats how sports trophies work you name the team one after some rando and then name the player awards after important past players
#<3#the championship trophy is named after like. a coach or an owner or commissioner or something#except stanley that guy was a governor general lmao#the vince lombardi also changed names like that wasnt its og name#it was changed to honour a coach that died that won the packers their first super bowl#and the pwhl can’t do that because no one has won the trophy yet#i feel like the awards being named after past players is one of the things the nhl does right lmao#the nfl has like. two of those. the deacon jones and the art rooney but most of them are just named what the thing is#like dpoy etc

I forgot about rpf Monday LOL what do you think about the whole team being a pack? I like to think that Brock is like the team omega 🤭
tbh i go back and forth on the team-as-pack thing just cuz there's so much turnover on the roster from year to year BUT it does make for some very interesting dynamics between teammates plus you could link the breakdown of a locker room to the fracturing of the pack and things like that🤔. if the niners did have a team pack i think the people really interlinked within the pack would mostly be vets and specifically starters. like you wouldn't start being brought into the fold until your 2nd/3rd year unless you're rookie nick bosa or something.
so when brock initially comes in he's more on the outskirts than anything but then of course kyle performs black magic rituals to sacrifice trey and jimmy's legs and all of a sudden he's QB1 so timeline gets a little sped up💀. i do think there's a few alphas on the team who've already kinda taken him under their wing in a sense, mainly deebo im thinking of and BA. as for him being the team omega he's definitely not the only omega on the team by far but he is the qb ya know so yeah he kind of is the team omega😭
#idk im never quite sure on how i stand on the team as pack thing#cuz on the one hand it IS interesting and good for fics#but on the other hand i do like a bit of realism in my omegaverse yk (she says while making nfl players pregnant yeah yeah ik)#and i just cant see the nfl allowing team packs to happen#like owners and gms would be against that immediately cuz do yk how much of a pain in the ass trades would be LMAO#not to put down ur thoughts or anything anon i just probably won't write about team packs anytime soon#anon#asks#rpf monday#ask game#nfl rpf#brock purdy#omegaverse#49ers#ty for your thots!!!

The news of Magic Johnson's purchasing of the NFL Washington Commanders football team was a momentous occasion for Black America. Current Owner Dan Synder has agreed to sell the team to Magic and Sixers owner Josh Harris for 6.05 billion, fully financed.
For decades, Black people had been excluded from ownership in major sports leagues, and Magic's acquisition will be a significant step towards equity and representation.
The purchase marked a shift in the power dynamics of professional sports, where Black athletes had long been exploited for their talent without adequate representation in leadership positions.
As a successful businessman and beloved figure in the Black community, Magic is a role model and symbol of Black excellence, proving that Black people could not only compete but excel in any field they chose.
His soon to be purchase, also means that Black people would have a voice in the decision-making process of a major sports franchise in the NFL, and their perspectives and experiences would be taken into account from the top.
Furthermore, Magic's ownership could serve as a catalyst for other Black entrepreneurs to invest in sports and create more opportunities for Black athletes and staff.
The purchase will be a reminder that Black people are not just consumers, but also creators and innovators, who could shape and influence the industries they participated in.
For Black America, Magic Johnson's purchase of the Washington Commanders will be more than just a business deal. It will also be a symbol of progress and a step towards of a more equitable and inclusive society. Brick by brick.

#people like him are exactly why i sometimes hate being a christian (especially as someone who's queer)#but i also don't want to leave the religion entirely because a. i still believe in god (to an extent anyway)#and b. i refuse to let the homophobes and other bad apples (heh) ruin my faith#anyways religious stuff aside#if butker's not off the team by preseason i won't be supporting the chiefs this upcoming season#matter of fact butker might be what drives me away from the chiefs entirely#he's not the sole reason- the amount of off-field controversy with other players plays a part too#(the cultural appropriation controversy i wont comment on because im white and therefore not my place lol)#but butker might be the final straw#sadly most of the other nfl teams also have their issues#however if i do continue to watch the nfl i'll probably pledge my allegiance to the lions or eagles#(*maybe* chargers however their owner is fucking trash so..)#nfl#god forgive him for he does not know what he's doing

Dan Snyder agrees in principle to sell the Washington Commanders for $6 billion to a group led by Josh Harris, an owner of the Philadelphia 76ers and New Jersey Devils.
The sale would have to be approved by the league’s finance committee and by at least three-quarters of the 31 other team owners. Harris’s group includes Mitchell Rales, a D.C. billionaire, and a group of limited partners that includes Magic Johnson. Snyder bought the team in 1999 for $800 million.
