How Robert Kraft became the subject of a fake soccer report started by Spanish NFL fans

Reported by numerous sports outlets across multiple continents, Robert Kraft was allegedly pondering the purchase of a 40 percent stake in Spanish soccer club Sevilla. It’s not an outlandish possibility. Kraft, after all, has been linked with buying European teams before.

And this isn’t to say that the Kraft Group might not still bid for Sevilla (officially, the Group offered no comment on the story).
