Thanks Tom. Since your boycott of the last black president, now several players are following your lead and boycotting the white president. very very small minded.

Hope other players skips too, I'm looking at you Matthew Slater, James White, Dion Lewis and of course Seabass.

I'm a big Brady fan on the field.

Off the field don't remotely like him, his annoying wife and his Trump friendship.

I'm not exactly sure what your comment means, but all of the racially charged language is a bit concerning.

Now, Brady may be lying, and I'm certainly no Brady apologist, but he does say that the trip last time was arranged on relatively short notice and conflicted with an engagement he had in the works for months. He also explicitly states that his absence at the white house last time was not politically motivated.

I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings.

I wouldn't go to the White House period. Just a photo op for whoever is in there.

I don't think its a big deal that players choose not to attend a team honor at the White House. Personally, I don't think its really needed. The government and White House officials have much more National issues to be paying attention too. Taking time to honor a sports team really isn't important, so I think the White House should stop scheduling these type of events.
