Patriots’ Martellus Bennett not visiting Trump at White House

HOUSTON (AP) — Patriots tight end Martellus Bennett says he is not worried about upsetting team owner Robert Kraft by not attending New England’s trip to the White House as Super Bowl champions.
Bennett said after the Patriots’ 34-28 win over the Falcons on Sunday night that he’s “not going to go” to the traditional meet-and-greet with the president. It will be the first visit of a Super Bowl champion to Washington since Donald Trump was sworn into office. Trump’s positions have alienated some athletes, which has raised questions about whether some might choose to skip the trip while the new president is in office.
But Bennett said he isn’t concerned about it and thinks the team believes “in whatever I want to do.”
Kraft is a supporter of Trump and attended a celebration dinner in Washington for him the night before his inauguration.

Isn't he a woman beater?

This is understandable. Trump did warn us that there will be some people that will get tired of all the winning.

Sounds petty and lame.

His protest will surely change the world.

since he waited until the season is over, i doubt the pats give one frick
everyone knows martellus is...different
and he was smart enough to save this until after they won and not before the game to cause distractions

He was the guy who had a chance to catch the game winning touchdown but dropped it. Also had a devastating holding call against him at the end of the first half. Sad.

Tom and Bill will be there. Who cares about a f'ing TE with an attitude.

Aggy is officially embarrassed.

He will be the first of many to shine the spotlight on themselves and make a lame political statement.
No big deal.
Athletes have not gone to the White House because the didn't like Obama.

Why would a reporter ask an athlete this political question moments after winning the Super Bowl? Do they not have any important questions to ask him?

For the record, they were equally petty and lame.
