At least six members of the Super Bowl-winning New England Patriots have said they will not visit the White House for the traditional meeting that championship teams have with the president.
Running back LeGarrette Blount, defensive end Chris Long and defensive tackle Alan Branch on Thursday became the latest to announce that they would skip the visit. Long posted on Twitter that he planned on skipping in response to a column in The Daily News that urged him to skip.

Brady did not want to go to a White House making jokes at his expense.
I doubt President Trump will miss them and I know this Trump voter won’t.
Not patriots. UNAMERICAN bigots.
OK...so I just watched my last Patriots game...
Have they been invited? I hope Trump stops these things.
Don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t leap at the opportunity to see Obama, either. And, I think the team-members who are blinded by Dem propaganda who don’t show up are making a mistake not seeing Trump. But, in a locker room where Brady is up there, you could easily point to what Tom did or didn’t do and think you were justified in similarly acting on your (misguided in this case) principles.
Funny thing, I read a lot of news everyday, and I have yet to see where they have been INVITED by President Trump to be at the White House!!!
Just because other Presidents have done this, doesn’t mean that President Trump has to!!!
Three for political reasons. One ‘been there, done that’, and two, ‘we’ll see’.
Just another example of how intolerant and exclusionary are the leftist.
Why?
Good....more time for the President to spend with the others who want to be there.
Exactly
As if the world should care.
its ok they have a “safe space” they can stay...grow a set you nimbicilic overpaid maroons!
It should be announced since another proud tradition has been used by the Left to further divide the nation, Trump decided to rescind his invite to the team.
Chris endorsed Gary Johnson ...
It ASTOUNDS me how STUPID people are to become this brainwashed by the Media!!! It TRULY is sickening that people can’t THINK FOR THEMSELVES!!! They BELIEVE what is spoonfed to them!!! I feel really bad for POTUS Trump he has sacrificed SO MUCH to be treated this way!!! This country is far worse off than I EVER THOUGHT!!! THANK GOD he won!!!
Pansies.....
Sure is!
