His decline almost makes the award a contradiction in terms. I understand the poor bastard want to keep his job, but right now we need to see some men of principles.
I’m not really sure why he deserved it anyway. So don’t let the door hit in you in the backside.
That’s one of Trump’s greatest faults is trusting someone who says something favorable of him.
I’m opposed to presidents handing out Medals of Freedom to entertainers and sports personalities to begin with. Then, to have a jackass turn it down for a trumped up reason really ticks me off. Belichick, what a chump!
Belichick had to turn down the award because he doesn’t have Tom Brady there to carry his ass across the goal line anymore….
I’m a Pats and Brady fan but no one wants be characterized as a racist and even though Trump is furthest from being a racist the left has painted associating with him as such.
Ultimately I do not understand what a high paid football coach has to do with Freedom anyway but Very Disappointed in Bill.
Brady seems to be answering the question, was it Bill, Brady or in actual fact Bill, Brady & Kraft ALL working together as a TEAM.
If the USA could get its act together and work as a team, with civil disagreement and resolution, it would be unchallenged by the rest of the world.
As if I needed another reason to hate Belicheat and the Patriots.
Next on the list should be Mike Flynn, George Papadopoulos, Roger Stone and Paul Manafort.

The National Football League is anti-American and he’s an important part of it so why would this surprise anybody?

I second that!
A football coach who has done nothing but win in the sport he is paid to win in has done nothing to be honored with such an award. So tell him to take his woke paranoia back to his locker room and leave us non-NFL citizens alone. He just illustrated why the NFL ratings are tanking. Get woke Go broke!
Goodell and the racist players’ association probably warned him off.
Sports figures shouldn’t get it unless they’re breaking barriers or are Pat Tillmans.
Trump in 1992 – he is now at that rock bottom point where he can now identify his small loyalist group and take vengeance on those that were not loyal. Belichick is a coward, too afraid of the cancel crowd to stand tall.

This tells you everything you need to know about the man.
The NFL sucks, and so do all associated with it. Anyone with an ounce of integrity would have nothing to do with such an anti-American organization.
I like to think the Trump curse will follow all of these people. Snub Trump or do evil to him and you’re finished.
So what. Belichick has ALWAYS been an asshole.
Maybe he realizes accepting it makes him look like an asshole. Maybe that’s why Trump nominated him. lol
Plus, is ANYTHING about the NFL worth noting? Maybe that admirable athletes like Herschel Walker retired LONG ago, before pro football became trash.
“Him…Him ____ him”
I can’t for the life of me figure out these turncoats. He supported Trump for years and then found a chickenshit excuse to abandon him.
We used to be the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave. That all seems to be gone. Belichek kicked Trump in the teeth when he was down. A disgusting display of cowardice.
One of the greatest leaders in US history has been treated like dirt by his friends and associates.
What do Belichick and Democrats have in common? They both cheated.
I don’t like Belichick but it’s refreshing to see somebody turn down a participation trophy.
The coach of the New England Benedict’s did not turn down the award because he doesn’t believe in participation trophies, he turned it down because he’s a politically correct chicken shit!
As I said I don’t like Belichick but it matters not whether he accepted or turned down this award. If he accepted, the left would crowing about Trump giving awards to undeserving people. Turning it down, the left will be crowing about a slap in the face for Trump.
This was probably all started by some twit left over from the oblama administration residing in the office behind the furnace room in the basement of the White House. I hope Trump has more important things to do than give useless awards to useless people.
Trump is thoughtful enough to offer the award and in return he’s insulted.
You’re a class act fuckhead!
About Belichick’s cheating:
If he were NFL-grade stupid, he would be asking Trump to PARDON him. lol
If I were Trump and it was my last day in office, with all the shit they put him, his wife, and family through…I’d start with pardoning Kyle Rittenhouse and give him one of those freedom or patriot medals. If I really wanted revenge, I’d pardon the 4 cops who were involved with the death of George Floyd. Or just go completely nuclear and pardon everyone who was involved on Dec. 6th at the Capitol – just to stick it to those F’n Dems!
But, Hey! that’s just me.
