Tom Brady addressed the recent decisions of six of his teammates to skip the Patriots’ White House visit, telling Pro Football Talk that visiting the White House has never been a “political thing.” Six members of the New England Patriots have said they will not be making the White House visit, which is a customary trip for champions of American college and professional sports. Multiple Patriots players have cited their opposition to President Donald Trump as the reason they will not go.
