Patriots’ Owner Robert Kraft buys Super Bowl Ads
The New England patriots are back in the super bowl, though not in the way one might expect.
According to mike florio of pro football talk, patriots owner robert kraft’s foundation to combat antisemitism has purchased a 30-second ad that will air during the super bowl on sunday when the kansas city chiefs face the san francisco 49ers at allegiant stadium in las vegas.
In the super bowl commercial, dr. clarence b. Jones, who assisted martin luther king jr. in writing his “i have a dream speech,” which he delivered on aug. 28, 1963, will appear.
On friday, the fcas posted a video of kraft’s phone call with dr. Jones on its youtube channel. During the phone call with kraft, dr. jones, 93, was ecstatic when he learned that his ad will be seen during the super bowl. “what we’re going to do together after this ad is to build bridges to spread love and defuse the hatred that is going on, and encourage people of all backgrounds, all races, all creeds, and all faiths to look at the positives in life,” kraft said.
According to statista, the average cost of a 30-second commercial in the super bowl last year was $7 million. Since the average cost of living was $5.5 million in 2021, it’s likely to be even more expensive this year. Although kraft has a lot of money to spare, it will always be worthwhile for those who can afford to do so.
