FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- New England Patriots safety and six-time captain Devin McCourty headlines a small group of players who have publicly said that they won’t attend Wednesday’s ceremony at the White House, as part of a political statement against President Donald Trump.
McCourty explained his decision on Friday at Boston University’s "Play It Forward" summit.
"The different things that come out of the White House or the [administration] just didn’t agree or align with some of my views," McCourty said during a panel discussion, echoing what he told Time Magazine immediately after the team’s Super Bowl LI victory.
