And the hits keep on coming
https://thehill.com/blogs/in-the-kno...dom-from-trumpNew England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick will not take part in a White House ceremony honoring him with the presidential Medal of Freedom this week, he said on Monday.
In a statement obtained by ESPN, the Patriots head coach said while he was "flattered" by the honor, he cited the events of last week's violent riots at the U.S. Capitol as a reason for his decision to decline the award.
"Subsequently, the tragic events of last week occurred and the decision has been made not to move forward with the award," Belichick said in the statement. "Above all, I am an American citizen with great respect for our nation's values, freedom and democracy."
