Patriots head coach Bill Belichick has decided not to accept the Presidential Medal of Freedom, citing the horrific events at the Capitol last week.Here’s what the Patriots coach wrote in a statement: “Recently, I was offered the opportunity to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom, which I was flattered by out of respect for what the honor represents and admiration for prior recipients. Subsequently, the tragic events of last week occurred and the decision has been made not to move forward with the award. Above all, I am an American citizen with great reverence for our nation’s values, freedom and democracy

My question is, why award him the medal in first place? All of pro ball is corrupt. I would not have it in my house no matter what! Especially basketball and football.

This cheater had the right idea going into this, that he wasn't worthy of the honor, but then he reveals just how stupid he is by believing his TV set. What will he do when the TV has to report something that shows what liars they are?

It's starting to feel like President Trump is handing these things out like M&Ms. He should've stopped at Rush and Coach Holtz. Bill Belichick? Seriously?

IMHO, Trump has been a bit too liberal with this award although no worse than all of his immediate predecessors (the wikipedia is ridiculous. Would like to have seen him return some dignity to the honor, but Alan Page? Elvis? Mariano Rivera? Bob Cousy? Can't wait to see the list being prepared by the Resident-elect, although he'll probably be gone due to illness before getting around to any awards so that will leave it to the 47th. Tupac, anyone?

I've been a Giants fan all my life and have always admired Bill Belichick as a great defensive coordinator. Now I find out he's a flaming liberal. To hell with Belichick. Am I about to be banned?

He's a spoiled brat with the personally of fresh fecal matter. He teaches knot heads how to play a GAME. He is of no value outside of a locker room.
He will be tossed into the dustbin of history.
President Trump remains the best President since Lincoln and the most loved person in America and perhaps the world.
Stick your virtue signaling where you can stick your pig skin Willy. It's real American values kneeling on the flag that Americans died for so you can play a child's game.
How come you didn't quit when your boss was caught getting a happy ending? Guess your values are pick and choose huh?
That's Willy for ya! No brains, no guts, no heart, no testicular fortitude.
I spit on you.

You know who DOES deserve a Presidential Medal of Freedom? James O'Keefe (Project Veritas).
He and his crew have risked just about everything to show the truth about enemies of freedom, enemies of a Constitutional United States.

Bill, not only are you a crappy American but it's such sweet revenge to see Tom Brady prove for everyone to see that you needed him a heckuva lot more than he needed you all these years and all those Super Bowls.

Give it to someone that deserves it. This guy truly does not. Always thought he was, how should I say this, Belichick always seemed a little under deflated !

Belichick certainly knows whether or not he deserves some sort of national medal for just doing his job as committed. Ditto, #1. (The coach probably wishes Obama had made the offer instead. )

Cheaters of a feather stick together, I suppose. This doesn't surprise me at all.

#10 Why would you be against Elvis Presley receiving the medal? Many entertainers receive the award. Whether or not you were fond of his music should have nothing to do with this. Like it or not he changed American music forever and American culture. He was also a true patriot and one of entertainments most generous men. In the 50's it was decided to have a memorial in Honolulu in memory of the Pearl harbor attack. They were having trouble raising funds- enter Elvis a concert in Hawaii, money given to memorial fund and a private donation from Elvis himself. After the attention given to the fund raising many more donations came in. Memorial built.

Belichick made himself into a very little man, certainly not worth a Medal of Freedom, as he stood down, when it was time to stand up for it.
