Boston (CNN) Robert Kraft has warned that failure to tackle anti-Semitism will open the door for other forms of racism and discrimination to flourish with the help of social media. Robert Kraft, owner of the New England Revolution, says he expects the game against Chelsea to raise $4 million for charities that fight anti-Semitism and discrimination. It's anti-Semitism today but that just opens the door to everything and so that's where we're at." The decision by Kraft and Chelsea to hold a charity match came in the aftermath of last October's attack in Pittsburgh. Since buying the Patriots in 1994 for a then league record of $172 million, Kraft has established the franchise as one of the most successful in the NFL.
