Patriots quarterback Tom Brady says he doesn’t have a problem if some of his teammates decide not to go to the White House to celebrate New England’s Super Bowl LI victory. Appearing on “PFT Live” on Tuesday morning, Brady said players have to make their “own choice” about whether to make the trip to Washington, D.C.
“There’s certain years, like a couple years ago, I wanted to go and didn’t get the opportunity based on the schedule,” Brady told “PFT Live.” “We didn’t get told until I think like 10 days before we were going, and at that point I had something I’d been planning for months and couldn’t get there.”
Brady was not the only one feeling this way. Robert Kraft has a personal friendship with Trump, but that has not deterred other Patriots players from making a political stand. Kraft told the “Today” show on Monday that he didn’t think it was notable that some players wouldn’t go to the White House.
“This is America; we’re all free to do whatever’s best for us, and we’re just privileged to be in a position to be going,” said Kraft.
