New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft auctioned off his Super Bowl LI ring in support of COVID-19 relief.
Kraft joined the All-In Challenge and sold the ring to a fan for $1.025 million. New England’s most recent championship win was against the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl LIII — but, Kraft had a special reason to auction off the Super Bowl LI ring.
“That was was pretty special,” Kraft said on FOX News’ Hannity. “I have a good friend, Michael Rubin, who started the All-In Challenge. He said try and come up with something special that could garner a lot of support. I thought about our fifth Super Bowl and we were down 28-3 with two minutes to go in the third period and had a .04 chance of winning the game and 99.6 (percent) chance to lose. We came back and it was a great, great victory.
“In some ways I feel the mood of our country is a little down and we’re still the greatest country in the world. We’re going to come back. I thought our ring epitomized that.”
The Patriots made the greatest comeback in Super Bowl history and it’s a comeback the entire world will have to make after this pandemic.
