On February 9, the players, coaches and owners of either the Philadelphia Eagles or Kansas City Chiefs will win a coveted Super Bowl ring. The rings, which are understood to cost between $30,000 (£24,000) and $50,000 (£40,000), are widely considered to be one of the most iconic and beautiful awards in sport today.
Few people are more familiar with the gleaming pieces of jewellery than New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, who watched his iconic side win six Super Bowls. Yet, the multi-billionaire only has five rings, as Russian president Vladimir Putin has the other one.
Kraft, 83, visited Russia on a business trip in 2005 and found himself shaking hands with Putin, before showing off the Super Bowl ring he had only recently collected at the time. Putin took it, admired it, put it in his pocket and then walked away, according to mind-boggling recounts from Kraft and other people in Moscow. While this happened, the Russian leader also uttered a chilling message to those in the room.

Kraft said: "I took out the ring and showed it to him, and he put it on and he goes 'I can kill someone with this ring'. I put my hand out and he put it in his pocket, and three KGB guys got around him and walked out."

Well maybe USAID should not have tried to set him up for a color revolution. Just maybe.
Did Bob Kraft take USAID money?
I remember this but I think there’s more to it.
Tell Putin to return Kraft’s ring.
Putin’s a thief.
ZEEPER FOLLIES PINGLIST!(((PING!)))
Tell Putin to give Kraft his ring back.
A lady I worked with immigrated from Russia about 20 years ago. At the airport security went through all their personal belongings. Her husband served as a private in the army and all his pics in uniform were confiscated as state secrets. As was her grandmother’s wedding ring as it belonged to the state. She said they could have stayed, filled out paperwork to get the ring back but it may have added another couple of years to their immigration which they started 10 years previously.
Tell Marcus he’s a tool of the Neocons at USAID
😂
Tell Putin to ditch the mongolism and return the ring he stole from Kraft.
Oh come on, I hate Putin, but really. TONS of people would say that when confronted with a ring that big and heavy. That’s not chilling, that’s normal.
Cannot wait for the USAID funding to run out!
The only thing more pathetic than being the “author” of this fake news, is being the dummy who regurgitates it on FR.
