Not sure which forum this belongs in, but it’s at least partially about football.
Six Patriots have said they won’t go to the White House as part of the traditional visit by the Super Bowl winners. All well known starters - LaGarrette Blount, Chris Long, Dont’a Hightower, Devin McCourty, Martellus Bennett and Alan Branch.
I assume that by next year the NFL will have instituted a rule requiring all members of the winning team to go.
From the OP’s linked article:
*Defensive lineman Alan Branch joins five of his teammates who have said they would not make the trip to the White House.
…Branch attended President Obama’s White House celebration with the Patriots for the 2014 Super Bowl win, SportingNews reported.*
Branch was willing meet with the black President, but not with the white President???
That would really surprise me. Players have been not going to the White House for years. They did it to Obama, and to Dubya, and to Clinton. They’re not likely to change the rule now for Trump.
