Robert Kraft Responds to Macklemore’s Challenge to Match $1 Million Donation to Palestinian Groups

The billionaire Gillette Stadium owner said Ed Sheeran already asked him "to commit $2 million to match his donation to aid in the region to fight this humanitarian crisis."

Not long after Macklemore challenged Gillette Stadium owner Robert Kraft to match his $1 million donation to organizations supporting the Palestinian people, the billionaire has responded by saying Ed Sheeran previously asked him to “commit” $2 million “to match his donation to aid in the region to fight this humanitarian crisis.”

“I have dedicated much of my life to building bridges between all people,” Kraft wrote in a statement released Wednesday (Sept. 16). “I believe deeply that all lives are worth protecting. Earlier today, before Macklemore challenged me to match his donation, Ed called me and asked me to commit $2 million to match his donation to aid in the region to fight this humanitarian crisis. Ed now plans to reach out to other venue owners and our goal is to continue to work together to build bridges.
