(CNN)New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick has announced that he is declining the Presidential Medal of Freedom, which he was scheduled to receive from President Donald Trump on Thursday.

Belichick cited the "tragic events of last week" as leading to his decision. Pro-Trump rioters rampaged in the US Capitol last Wednesday. Five people died as a result of the chaos, including a US Capitol Police officer. House Democrats want to impeach Trump, accusing him of "incitement of insurrection."......

Belichick didn't want an award which didn't require cheating.

He chose slavery to the new woke NFL over a medal of Freedom.

If only Trump would have been as humble as B.O. or as honest as B.C. or N.P.
or C.S.

How do they know the violent rioters were pro-Trump ? If they were anarchists, then by definition they weren’t pro-Trump. Shouldn’t they be using the word alleged since they have no proof ?

Likewise, I'm surely . . . He was a worthless POS here in Cleveland, a cheater, and incompetent as a coach, hiding behind a highly talented QB. Look at this bozo's record since he lost his QB. No doubt this loser will be put in the NFL's Hall of Infamous.

You’re in a significant minority among conservatives (oh, I’m sure there are countless Freepers who have done the same). But outside of this forum, conservatives have gone back to the NFL, if they ever left in the first place.

To blame events on Trump is beyond reprehensible. There’s a price in this life and next for that kind of betrayal. Maybe he’ll hang himself?

Yes. Pretty stupid, especially after the NFL has contributed to left-wing hate and propaganda. I’m gonna guess it was Ivanka’s idea.

Well, I guess they feel that watching guys play with a pointy leather ball is more important than respecting America. That’s a damned shame.

Hi.

I’ve posted this before (regarding cheating), so this is the last time...

Belichick can go and reproduce asexually.
