Looks like allot of people owe Bill Belichick an apology.

1. Even Robert Kraft is giving him a hand

6. Where's the upvote when you need it.

Nice work.

[underpants]

12. Glad you got that. 😁

[C_U_L8R]

14. Everyone likes a happy ending

[underpants]

15. 😁

[Retrograde]

2. No, we don't

Just because he did the minimal correct thing for once. If it weren't for last week's riot he'd probably be showing up for it.

3. I think he only refused the medal because of everything that has happened

If it was awarded a few months ago he would have accepted.

[SlogginThroughIt]

4. Why? Fuck him.

He should be applauded because he did the default right thing to do? The guy is a cheat. And he is kind if a dick too. He didn’t take that medal because taking it would be terrible for his image. Can’t stand him.

[RockRaven]

5. I disagree. If Trump had given the *exact same seditious speech*, but nobody had died, would

BB have cancelled this acceptance? We'll never know the answer to that counterfactual question, but we do know this: it was announced a long time ago that BB would be getting the medal, and he didn't pull the rip cord until just now.

The fact that people died is not the sole reason Trump is a piece of shit, a stain upon our country and a disgraceful degradation of it's history -- including the history of that medal which BB cites in his brief statement.

BB remains a self-serving ass, imo.

7. Looks like you're going to be disappointed n/t

[William769]

10. Not really.

Just goes to show a double standard & that hurts when you see it in a house you have belonged to for a long time.

[think4yourself]

8. Apologies are given

when you do something wrong. He did the right thing. No apologies from me.

[SteelReel]

9. Heck NO

Nowhere in his statement does he say his refusal
is because of the actions of trump.
No guts, no glory

[DonCoquixote]

11. OK I will

I cant wait to see skip and shannon talk about this

[Totally Tunsie]

13. Bill Belichick is a lot better guy than he's given credit for,

and I'm talking about pre-Medal of Freedom refusal. He has a purpose in projecting the manner he does...it keeps the assholes away! Bill can't be bothered by those who don't come prepared, whether it's on the field or in the pressroom, and he'll let you know it. But he's a person who expects competence and perfection. He's actually a helluva nice guy, with a great sense of humor.

The fact that Bill rejects tRump's "honor" comes as no surprise. Bill is a Patriot in more ways than one, and he knew to do the right thing.

[Turin_C3PO]

16. Don't know a lot about him but

he doesn’t seem too terrible to me. Glad he rejected the tainted Medal of Freedom.

[Solomon]

17. Not from me. He pissed me off in 2017 when he presented Trump with a helmet and Jersey

on a visit to the white house.

On the other hand, I will give him credit for doing the right thing here.
