Of the NFL’s 32 teams, 10 have Jewish owners.
Sunday’s Super Bowl LII between the New England Patriots and Philadelphia Eagles will not only match two teams with Jewish ownership for the third time since 2012, but will also be played in the new US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, a venue partially paid for by the Jewish owners of the local Vikings, the Wilf family. Patriots owner Robert Kraft will be eyeing his sixth championship since taking over the franchise in 1994, while Jeffrey Lurie is hoping to celebrate his and his franchise’s first-ever Super Bowl title after purchasing the team 24 years ago.
