If I was Trump I would not have offered the honor to Belichick. A coach with a great winning record, but with questionable ethics. What did he do to earn the medal?

Partly because there aren’t a lot of high profile people that will identify as a friend of Trump. I’m sure this was set up a while ago, and after the events of 1/6, the pats execs probably told belechick forget it.

So he turned on his friend.

NOTHING LIKE DRIVING A STAKE THROUGH WHAT’S LEFT OF THE PATS, THE WHOLE NFL, ALL PRO SPORTS FOR THAT MATTER.

IS THERE STILL ROLLER DERBY?

I don't know why Trump would offer such a high honor to some football coach in the first place. Dumb and petty IMO.

Someone tell me a single thing this dirtbag did for America - besides get caught in a cheating scandal.

Belichick knows his NFL career will be toast if he accepted the medal, and forget the Hall of Fame.

I agree. And I like both Bill and Donald. But the Medal should denote extraordinary conduct, not just popularity.

But then again, Obama gave the Medal to luminaries like Ellen DeGeneres and Joe Biden. So who's to say any more?
