Last summer I had the opportunity to go to Israel with a group of past and present New England Patriots players. Team owner Robert Kraft was our host. Kraft has a habit of taking his players to the Holy Land during the offseason. Over the years he’s also taken many NFL Hall of Famers, from Jim Brown to Roger Staubach to Joe Montana. These trips are part of Kraft’s effort to build unity by exposing NFL players to a country where Jews, Christians and Muslims peacefully coexist.
