Why is Devin McCourty being such a DB in refusing to go to the White House?

    Because he thinks he is taking a stand for something he believes in...whatever that is.

    We live in America, it's a free country and he is free to act on his beliefs. However, to me the white house visit should not be about politics. he is a member of a "team". If the team wins the Championship and is invited to an event then I think all members of that team should be there regardless of your beliefs whatever they might be. In my opinion he is in some ways turning his back on his teammates even though he claims to not feel "welcomed" in the Whitehouse.

    I like that he is part of the Patriots and support the freedoms we have as Americans but in this case he is making his personal views more important than his team.

    Who the fυck are you to tell someone what he should do or not do, Donald Trump?

    Because he has the right to and apparently isn't in favor of the current president. Brady did it just a couple of years ago. Did you question his decision?

    If stating an opinion is being a douchebag then I guess Brady is one for openly supporting Trump then, huh?

    Funny, when I was learning all about "patriotism" I never once had a single teacher, nor either of my parents, or anyone I respected tell me that if I played pro football some day and won a Super Bowl that it was my "patriotic duty" to go the White House.

    I suggest you get used to it. I guarantee he won't be the last to refuse to go see President Cheeto.- many more players will do the same.

    I don't know but it isn't a requirement. Many refuse in order to make a point. Some people understand while others dont get or refuse to get the point.

    It's a free country. If you don't like it, maybe you should move someplace else.

    Brady didn't go to the White House last time when the black dude was President either.

    I have no idea what DB means except defensive back. Which is what he is. As far as not going, his choice. We all have the right to listen to and believe the hype, the spin. Or actually listen to each other and dig for the truth. In his position, he has very little time to actually dig for the truth so he has to accept what those he believes, say.

    Sadly he is not as smart or independent a thinker as many of us thought he was.
