This was expected after a massive group—almost half—of Patriots players said they would not be attending, many because they did not “feel welcome” in the Trump White House. Even Trump’s friend, Tom Brady, didn’t show up, citing “personal family matters.” Given that the Patriots are considered one of the most Trump-supporting sports teams, that might not bode well for Trump’s future team visits.

  1. Love how you were in such a hurry to post this that you screwed up the years on the bottom two pictures.

  2. Don’t forget that the Patriots refuted this as well. I understand where your political leanings lie, but this is a dumb post.
