Patriots’ HC Bill Belichick will not be traveling to Washington nor accepting the Presidential Medal of Freedom, he announced today.

It should be beneath Bill Belichick to allow himself to be used as a prop. Yet, here we are.
Processing the fact that Donald Trump -- in the final embarrassing, divisive, violent days of his presidency -- is turning to Belichick to bail him out.
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. There was an inherent dignity to the office.
But this -- if it actually goes off this Thursday with some kind of ceremony -- would be nothing but a bad-faith diversion by Trump. 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 Bill Belichick shows up to this White House to smile and shake hands and accept a medal from this president, he brings disgrace upon himself, the Patriots and the NFL.

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. I sincerely hope this is Fake News.

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

ETA: Florio says Bill wants to accept it
quote:
Per a source with knowledge of the dynamics, the offer was extended before last Wednesday’s events, and Belichick very much wants to accept it. He believes it’s a great honor.
The problem is that the circumstances undermine the honor and create needless controversy. The president bestowing the honor is more than a lame duck; he’s a wounded squirrel scurrying for any and all political nuts he can jam into a tree that currently is being loudly chainsawed.

They really think Bill gives a F?
Jeez
Jeez
Posted on 1/11/21 at 11:58 am to RLDSC FAN
so why is Bill being given a medal of freedom in the first place?

It's amazing how full of themselves and clinically insane journalists are.
Bob Ryan can suck my dick.
ETA: Bill should accept the medal of honor and then retire immediately. He's not winning another title and neither is Tom Brady.

No clue. At least it's not a pardon.

Well damn. Maybe they’ll have to go get a real job instead of staying oppressed and getting paid millions to play a game.

There sure are a lot of pussies in this country. I can't imagine ever being so weak to cry and whine like these people are doing.

Even if you believe this is true... These are the same media members that encouraged then refused to condemn the BLM violence all summer long.
These retards can get fricked.

This shite is why I play video games like I'm a 12 year old Japanese kid.
It's the only escape now since sports are corrupted.

I wonder if Kraft would accept a pardon for the massage parlor visit...

I honestly feel sorry for Belichick being put in this rock and a hard place situation. Trump is a real piece of shite.

I'm guessing it was something to so with him speaking out about the Armenian Genocide.
And he should absolutely accept it. It is a very prestigious award.

Yeah, this dude is going to give a shite what you think:

Trump has scared the living shite out of the ruling class in this country. They can’t stand not being in full control of the population.

Where were you when Obama gave out 50 times the amount of pardons as Trump?
Posted on 1/11/21 at 12:17 pm to RLDSC FAN
Really weird that he’s being given this award in the first place
I don’t really care if he accepts or not. Sure Trump is a lame duck piece of shite, but it’s also a prestigious award.
But ultimately this is a “story” that journalists can use to 1 up their colleagues virtue signaling. “I’m more outraged than the guy from CBS!!!!”

I hope they save their money, because 68% of them would be on food stamps and welfare within a year. Working a regular job, paying bills and budgeting is not exactly a strong trait they value.

It's only this if you're a petulant douche. It's a high honor and refusing it just to virtue signal to the tantrum throwing morons in this country would be a very regrettable decision. But that's where we are these days, so it wouldn't surprise me.
