WHY 6 PATRIOTS Say THEY WILL NOT Be VISITING The WHITE HOUSE On SPORTS ILLUSTRATED MAG!!!

CRAZY COOL GROOVY CONGRATULATIONS to Owner ROBERT KRAFT and Family, Head Coach BILL BELICHICK, QB #12 TOM BRADY, and the NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS, for their Sunday, February 5, 2017, overtime victory over the ATLANTA FALCONS by a score of 34 - 28 to wi SUPER BOWL LI (51), be named SUPER BOWL 51 CHAMPIONS, and claim the fifth SUPER BOWL Title for the PATRIOTS organization!!!

HOWEVER; six members of the SUPER BOWL 51 Champion NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS  have said they won't be making the customary trip to WASHINGTON, D.C., meet President DONALD TRUMP at the WHITE HOUSE.. 

SPORTS ILLUSTRATED Magazine reports they are Tight End MARTELLUS BENNETT, Safety DEVIN McCOURTY, Linebacker DONT'A HIGHTOWER, Defensive End CHRIS LONG, Running Back LaGARRETTE BLOUNT, and; Defensive End ALAN BRANCH.

A number of well-known professional athletes from various sports have voiced their opposition to a multitude of Trump's policies and statements. Most notably, the President has received significant backlash for a controversial executive order to ban immigration from seven Muslim-majority nations.

ROBERT KRAFT, BILL BELICHICK, and; TOM BRADY are ALL very good friends with POTUS #45.

Fresh off the PATRIOTS victory, and; while still on the Patriots team bus, DEVIN McCOURTY wrote a text message to TIME Magazine:

"I'm not going to the White House. Basic reason for me is I don't feel 

accepted in the White House. With the president having so many strong 

opinions and prejudices I believe certain people might feel accepted there 

while others won't. I can't imagine a way I go there."

Why will his teammates NOT be visiting our nation's capital to meet Commander-in-Chief #45???

Peep the Tweets.
