Belichick Won't Accept Presidential Medal

New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick announced Monday night that he won’t accept the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the news coming in the wake of the attack on the Capitol by supporters of President Trump.

A White House official had said Sunday Trump would be awarding the nation’s highest civilian honor to Belichick. In his statement, Belichick didn’t directly say he’d turned down the offer from Trump, who’s a longtime friend, instead saying, “the decision has been made not to move forward with the award” in the wake of the attack.

He continued, “Above all, I am an American citizen with great reverence for our nation’s values, freedom and democracy.”
