New England Patriots tight end Martellus Bennett won his first Super Bowl ring on Sunday. And as he promised earlier this past week, he’ll make good on not attending any championship celebration at the White House with new President Donald Trump.
The colorful Bennett (trust us and read here) first said Monday night that he didn’t plan to go. Bennett confirmed that after the Super Bowl victory in which he caught five passes for 62 yards and drew a key pass-interference call in the waning moments of overtime to help seal it.
“It is what it is. People know how I feel about it,” he said, via Dallas Morning-News. “Just follow me on Twitter.”
He should go. He shouldn't act like a dumbass like right wing supporters did during Obama's term when they were scheduled for White House visits and decided not to show up.

i disagree, there were a lot of athletes that have not gone to the white house because of their political leanings in the past, and not just obamas white house either. every president has been snubbed by athletes in the past. in fact every president has been snubbed by a lot of people in the past, this is nothing new.
you cant force someone to go something they dont want to do. many years ago i worked at a summer resort, and president clinton visited the dining room for lunch one day. it so happened that there were a number of us employees sitting in the break room after finishing lunch, and a secret service agent poked her head into the room and said that we needed to be wanded if we wanted to meet the president, and we didnt want to meet the and we told her so. so she said ok we just had to either stay in the break room of leave the building. since i needed to get some sleep before i went to work that night, i ultimately left the building.
and part of the reason ws that i didnt want to be part of a dog and pony show.
