Tom Brady: 'Everybody has their own choice' on White House visit

As of this writing, there are six members of the Super Bowl-winning New England Patriots who are on the record as saying they will not attend the White House if invited.

Safety Devin McCourty, tight end Martellus Bennett, running back LeGarrette Blount, defensive end Chris Long, defensive tackle Alan Branch and linebacker Dont’a Hightower wouldn’t travel to Washington, D.C., with five indicating it is because of President Donald Trump and not feeling welcome; Hightower has said his decision is not political, but rather that he’s already been once, as a member of the Alabama national championship team.
