Kraft Takes the Lombardi Trohpy to Israel

I found this interesting:

"This is the first time in the history of American football that the trophy has ever been outside of America," Kraft said.

Kraft drew a parallel between his very American sport and the way Israel is run.

"You get three out of four Super Bowls by subjugating the ego for the good of the whole," he said. "In Israel, this is in the fabric of the country, to create a democracy that thrives against the odds."

Robert Kraft, owner of the New England Patriots, also placed a prayer for Tedy Bruschi at the Western Wall. I found it very interesting that the Lombardi Trophy had never been outside the US. I wonder how long before someone says this is some sort of proof of an Israel / neo-con conspiracy.
