That's a conservative number.

Really weird that he’s being given this award in the first place


Not really when you look at the list of past recipients. Bear Bryant got one. So did a lot of other random successful people. It's just a token award that Presidents give out all the time.

BB is certainly worthy to stand on that stage given what he has accomplished.

This is just more gaslighting outrage from the left-wing moonbats and the media. If the girl who sold the most girl scout cookies showed up for the traditional photo op with the President they would freak out

I'm sure you'll get a great reply here. Can't wait to read it!

No.


But, if he wants to keep doing Subway commercials and the like, he needs to tread carefully.

Right or wrong (okay, definitely wrong), he'll get "canceled" and a brand like Subway will be forced to drop him.

Each president has their tendencies with this thing. Obama seemed to focus on Hollywood more than other industries. Trump has done a lot in sports.

The people feigning outrage or whatever about this one either doesn't know the history of the award or can't get past their TDS.

If this story about Bill Belichick accepting a Medal of Freedom from the disgraced occupant of the White House is true, he’s dead to me. Say it ain’t so, Bill

Coming from a normal American president, the Presidential Medal of Freedom would be a lifetime high point for anyone who loves this country, regardless of that president’s party or policies


This went out the door when that trash Limbaugh got one. It is meaningless now.

Bill should accept the award and then resign rather than face the socialists.
He's done enough.

I'd say it's 99.9% TDS and 0.1% not knowing the history of the award, give or take.

If Bill Belichick accepts Trump’s Presidential Medal of Freedom after an insurrection Trump incited, change the name of the New England Patriots to the New England Traitors & NFL’s 70% Black players should refuse to play them next season unless the coach withdraws his acceptance


If Trump is such an evil person, then why should only the black players refuse to play? How is this about race?

Might mean a little more if Bob Ryan hadn't previously said (a long time ago but still) that someone should smack Jason Kidd's wife.

BOSTON — Boston Globe sports columnist Bob Ryan was suspended without pay for a month Tuesday for saying on television that Jason Kidd’s wife needed someone to “smack her.”

Pretty sure nobody outside of sports journalism sees this as an attempt to distract the country.

quote:

A tone-deaf effort to get video of him doing something presidential while Congress debates if he is worthy or sane enough to even serve out the final week of his presidency.


If only Schiff had argued this in the first impeachment. “If you don’t believe there was an abuse of power on that phone call, ask yourselves this, when’s the last time he did anything presidential on the level of handing out a Medal of Freedom? I CAN’T REMEMBER CAN YOU!?!

Get a grip sports journalists. Bill isn’t being canonized. He’s receiving an honor that the previous president basically handed out to his Spotify playlist.

They are already trying to cancel Anaka Sorenstam and Gary Player for showing up on Wednesday for the same thing. This cancel culture BS needs to stop.

I was about to say I’m pretty sure bob Ryan was suspended multiple times for either being a actual racist or other things.
