The media is trying to make this something it is not. Gosh, remember when the media just reported the news and weren’t non-stop anti-Trump political activists.

The MSMLSD will blow this out of all proportion and lie about how Trump’s friends are deserting him.

I guess Gronkowski crashed Spicers Press event today. He popped his head in thru the side door and said “you need any help? You got this?” Spicer siad he was OK and Gronk went back to the tour or whatever. Funny video. Classic Gronk

Yes, and Tom Brady is a friend of the President. It’s awful how these demons in the media are making something out of nothing......and furthermore, if Brady says it’s personal, lay off!!

Oh, wait a minute ...

I understand that Aaron Hernandez also has some matters he has to attend to, and will be able to visit the White House.

I didn’t know about his mom suffering from cancer :(

This right here:

He explained, “I am so happy and excited that our team is being honored at the White House today. Our team has accomplished something very special that we are all proud of and will be for years to come. Thank you to the president for hosting this honorary celebration and for supporting our team for as long as I can remember.”

pretty much says he wasn’t bailing on the White House visit for political or ideological issues.

I hope all is well with Brady’s family.

The media/left puts huge pressure on anyone who disagrees with them...Unfortunately many people aren’t brave enough to stand up to it.

It's hard to imagine that Brady couldn't have taken out 1/2 a day to attend this no matter what was going on with his mom. My guess is he didn't want all the negative publicity he would have gotten from attending.

The ceremony is pretty lacking without him being there considering the role he played in winning the Super Bowl.

Its a sad state of affairs.

“It’s hard to imagine that Brady couldn’t have taken out 1/2 a day to attend this no matter what was going on with his mom”.

You are full of it. What an arrogant, stupid thing to say.

His mom has cancer.

Perhaps that's the reason, but some stories back before election day indicated that the supermodel at home did not want to be considered a Trump supporter. That might also be a reason.

“no matter what was going on with his mom”

You have no place in making that kind of statement. He also missed the first day of workouts with the team, yesterday, something he nevers does. His mom has cancer and based on how she looked at the SB, she is not doing well.

And what negative publicity are you talking about???? Don’t tell us you’re one of the fake news junkies who buys into the deflategate BS!!

Either way, for anybody to even think what you have to say about Tom Brady’s personal life is worth anything, would be foolish. You’re a nobody who is making a statement without any knowledge of his situation; and I just watched the ceremony and it went off better than I have ever seen.

You should limit your blathering about issues you have some insight into; otherwise...Take a hike pal !!!

He also didn't attend in 2015, also citing family commitments as the reason. I think he just doesn't like the politics of these visits... no matter who the president is.

His mom is currently visiting him... she traveled all the way from California to visit the family... it's not like he had to suddenly rush out to California to be by her side.
