New England Patriots tight end Martellus Bennett refuses to attend the team's reception at the White House after winning the Super Bowl LI because he doesn't support President Donald Trump.
Bennett made the comments while both speaking with reporters and on Twitter, the Dallas Morning News reported on Monday.

No problem. No one should be forced to go to the White House.I can't refute this as I would not go if Big Ears was still there.

this is simply bad form... lack of social graces...i am sick of these people using the NFL as their platform... don’t go... keep it to yourself... make your comments on your personal platform... this is a lack of class on his part... Donald Trump has done nothing to this guy...

Yep, takes a really tough baby to hold your breath until your face turns blue. Probably needs a diaper change too.

He was a jerk when he was with the Cowboys, so it’s no great shock.

Not surprising that it’s the tight end that likes obie. He's about as classy as that other former Patriots' tight end, Aaron Hernandez.

Is a free country. He’s free not to attend, and the rest of us are free not to care.

“... these people are way way way WAY overpaid ....”
Which makes me question How much does winning the Super Bowl pay the winners? How much to losers? Anyone know?

Having a tight end will do this guy no good. DJT is most definitely heterosexual unlike the last WH occupant.

Some day he’ll wish he’d joined his teammates instead of making a meaningless “statement” that will have zero impact on anything.
