Per ESPN Boston and the Boston Globe.


There's no way the hoodie would even consider accepting that now, right? Regardless of how you lean, now is probably not a great time for that

It’s the Medal of Freedom. That is a huge award.

Except when you look at most of the people that Trump has given it to and you realize it's like getting steak knives for Christmas.

Just what entails being a recipient of the medal of freedom?

Is this country 'freer' because a football coach had an outstanding career?

He gave two of them out today to Anaka Sorenstam and Gary Player at the White House.

I don’t know if it has anything to do with it, but I know Belichick has spoken out about the Armenian situation with Turkey and Azeri forces invading Armenian homeland. In 1915 the Armenian genocide at the hands of the Turks was estimated to be 1.5 M people. Even now they’ve been targeted churches, civilians. It’s awful.

It feels like it’s become the American version of knighthood.

I looked through Trump’s list, and it’s very similar to his predecessors, except Trump has been much more selective. He’s only awarded 24 medals during his term. Obama issued well over 100 during his two terms.
