Robert Kraft, once the NFL’s good guy, is just another billionaire silencing Macklemore | Howard Bryant

Robert Kraft, owner of the New England Patriots, banned rapper Macklemore from performing at the team stadium, drawing comparisons to the blackballing of Colin Kaepernick. This action occurred amidst a broader context of racial tensions and protests following George Floyd's murder. Recently, Robert Kraft expressed a desire to have a sit-down meeting with Macklemore after the billionaire allegedly had him removed from an Ed Sheeran tour, though Macklemore has reportedly not responded to the request.
