Despite claiming to be an equal opportunity \u2064employer, the Kraft Group received \u2063backlash, with the job post being removed from ZipRecruiter for violating terms.\u2063 The Kraft Group, owned \u2062by billionaire Robert Kraft and famous for its ownership of the New\u200d England Patriots, is under scrutiny for a job\u2064 listing that appears \u2062to show preference towards \u2064non-white \u200dapplicants by seeking a &#8220;BIPOC&#8221; individual for a \u2064Sports \u2062Management \u2063Associate\u2062 position. Although asserting equality in employment, the company faced backlash, \u2062leading to the removal of the job post from ZipRecruiter due to policy \u2063violations.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p>Billionaire Robert Kraft\u2019s company, best known for owning the New England Patriots, is under fire for a job posting that appears to discriminate against white applicants on the basis of their race.<\/p>\n<p>The Kraft Group, a holding company that owns the Patriots, the New England Revolution soccer team, and Gillette Stadium where both play, posted a job listing for a Sports Management Associate position that lists having <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.is\/rtltZ\">a non-white racial background<\/a> as a qualification, specifying that it\u2019s looking for a \u201cBIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and Person of Color)\u201d individual.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe goal of this program is to diversify the future of the sports and entertainment management industry by providing opportunity and access to BIPOC candidates connected to the New England community,\u201d the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whatjobs.com\/job\/Sports-Management-Associate\/massachusetts\/1531057270?utm_campaign=google_jobs_apply&#038;utm_source=google_jobs_apply&#038;utm_medium=organic\">job posting<\/a> reads.<\/p>\n<p>The Kraft Group claims in the same job posting that it is an \u201cequal opportunity employer\u201d that evaluates applicants \u201cwithout regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, veteran status, and other legally protected characteristics.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The job listing was posted to ZipRecruiter, which <a href=\"https:\/\/dallasexpress.com\/business-markets\/whites-need-not-apply-kraft-sports-suggests\/\">told The Dallas Express<\/a> that it violated the platform\u2019s terms of use and would be removed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re in the process of removing the job posting,\u201d the platform explained. \u201cZipRecruiter has an established Trust &#038; Safety team and Job Quality team that review listings on accounts that are brought to their attention via a system flag or job seeker complaint.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Kraft Group did not respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n<p>The Equal Opportunity Employment Commission <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eeoc.gov\/prohibited-employment-policiespractices\">explains<\/a> that \u201cit is illegal to discriminate against someone (applicant or employee) because of that person\u2019s race.\u201d It also points out that \u201cit is illegal for an employer to publish a job advertisement that shows a preference for or discourages someone from applying for a job because of his or her race, color, religion, sex.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Kraft Group is far from the only company that has discriminated against white people in the name of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).
