Last fall I noted that three of the American League ballclubs that were in the playoffs had Jewish guys as top execs. Tonight’s Super Bowl featured two clubs with Jewish ownership. Robert Kraft’s Patriots, and the Giants, half-owned by the Tisches. The lesson is the same as last fall: Jews are principals in American society. Any effort to portray my people as outsiders or discriminated against is an abuse of reason… No, celebrate it; and come up with a new ethos of leadership…
(P.S. Kraft has underwritten the Kraft center for Jewish life at his alma mater, Columbia U., which generally aligns Jewish identity with Israelism. In the lobby, the Zionist Organization of America stacks cards telling you how to support Israeli soldiers. On the second floor, the cafe serves Middle Eastern food and advertises it as "a taste of home.")
