Patriots Coach Bill Belichick Snubs Trump – Turns Down Presidential Medal Of Freedom
The Mix ^ | 1/12/2021 | James Conrad

Posted on 01/12/2021 9:13:21 AM PST by MJacks4

The New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick has been a close friend of President Donald Trump for many years. He has even visited him at the White House multiple times over the past four years.

That’s why it had to have come as a shock to Trump that Belichick snubbed him by turning down the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Just another solid reason why I no longer have anything to do with the FNFL. They are dead to me.

Since bele-chicky didn't have the balls to stand up to the heat and accept the best award from his Country, he doesn't deserve it.

BTW, how well can he coach without Brady at QB?

“I wonder if it more to do with the coach becoming an instant target for the BLM goons and such others if he were to accept that honour.”

More evidence that terrorism and intimidation work.

Maybe we should give it a try...because whatever we’re doing (”we’re not like that”) sure ain’t working.

Yawn... who cares?

Liberals are haters who live within a WOKE group-think. He gets points from liberal elites - and diminishes the value of the company that signs his paycheck. It's a free country... but if I owned the franchise I'd find someone else.

What?

I thought I heard the WH decided not to do this as it was inappropriate.

I don't blame Bill Belichick for not wanting to deal with it.

He's 68. He has enough money. He is in a position where he can further expose the left. He is NOT going to recreate the last 20 years. I thought he had a thick skin.

Yes. I blame him.

I’m in Boston and heard Belichik state that the reason was that ‘anyone who knows him knows that he isn’t political’.

What a fraud. In 2016 he wrote a letter to Trump when Trump was still campaigning. Trump asked if he could read the letter to the public. Belichick instead told him to wait and he would write an even more distinguished letter which he did. Heard that on Rush yesterday I think. But I did hear it and only listen to conservative stations.

Her gave Brady no weapons last year to force Brady out so Bill could show he was the driving force behind the Superbowls. If his ego didn’t get in the way, Brady, Gronk, and even Antonio Brown would still be playing here and Brady would have won us at least 1, maybe 2 more Superbowls.

Now I am really rooting for the Bucs, although I refuse to watch any games.

PINO - Patriot In Name Only.

I agree. His father coached at West Point. I hope he loses every game now. This year he did not make the playoffs.

I now protest the teams name. They are not the Patriots and should be called the Benedict Arnolds

Fair weather friends and associates with no spines or balls.

I have no respect for anybody like Belichick, who would do something so disgraceful, despicable and ignominious to a long time friend by turning down the nation's highest civilian honor.

He deserves to be shamed and humiliated, not Trump.

I actually think that was part of his decision, I think a little birdie told him if he did it, they would go after the team name.

"Shows that sometimes, nominees are unworthy of being honored. Lucky save of an undeserved honor here...."

Agreed. But I feel bad for President Trump though. He doesn't deserve to be treated like that by someone he thought was a friend. That sucks!
