    Bill Belichick Vehemently Declines Medal of Freedom from Trump

    New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick has declined to accept the honor of the Presidential Medal of Freedom from outgoing President Donald Trump in a very public statement.

    You can read Belichick’s statement per ESPN here, or below:


    “Recently I was offered the opportunity to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom, which I was flattered by out of respect for what the honor represents and admiration for prior recipients. Subsequently, the tragic events of last week occurred and the decision has been made not to move forward with the award.

    Above all, I am an American citizen with great reverence for our nation’s values, freedom and democracy. I know I also represent my family and the New England Patriots team. One of the most rewarding things in my professional career took place in 2020 when, through the great leadership within our team, conversations about social justice, equality and human rights moved to the forefront and became actions.

    Continuing those efforts while remaining true to the people, team and country I love outweigh the benefits of any individual award.”
