New England Patriots football coach Bill Belichick said he no longer plans to go to Washington to accept the Presidential Medal of Freedom from
Donald Trump after last week’s riot at the U.S. Capitol, which he called “
tragic.”
In a
statement Monday, Belichick said that, although he had been “
flattered” to receive the honor, “
the tragic events of last week” led him to “not move forward with the award.”
“
Above all, I am an American citizen with great reverence for our nation’s values, freedom and democracy,” Belichick wrote, adding that one of the “most rewarding” moments of his career had been last year’s “conversations about social justice” with his football team.
