Nope.  The PGA is already running as far and fast as it can from Gary Player and Anika Sorenstam accepting this award the day after the insurrection.

Unless BB plans to retire this year, I'd bet money the NFL tells him not to go anywhere near Trump.

Isn't Robert Kraft a Trump supporter? Or am I mistaken?

Yes. And so is Belichick (BB wrote a super fawning letter to Trump a few years ago).

[fruity pebbles 3,295]

No way I’d accept that. 

[DaVinci 2,058]

So Belichick can win a trophy without Tom Brady.

[lakerstan 1,888]

I wouldn’t take any award that was just given to Devin Nunes.

But did have to try and cheat voters.

He's done so much winning. That's all he does is win. He wins. You're going to get tired of winning.

i think it would be great fun to join the masses who hate the "Patriots."

[AAABatteries 25,269]

Ok, he’s gone to far now - time to impeach.

[Sea Duck 1,474]

Bill should hand him a piece of paper that says "I resign as P of the USA" -- just in case he needs it.

Seriously!  I had no idea.  What a let down to anyone that has won this award.

[Ramsay Hunt Experience 19,527]

Man, Trump will do anything for a comeback in Georgia.

While honored. With all due respect to the office of the President. Decline. 

[IvanKaramazov 22,618]

Yet another example of Trump disgracing the office.

[SHIZNITTTT 3,347]

Wow.   I would think the NFL would say no.

[Mookie 2,541]

I wonder if there will also be a pardon issued for all of the Patriots' cheating.

[johnnycakes 1,206]

BB declines the honor.

May as well just give it posthumously to Ty Cobb.

BB clearly disgusted with Trump’s anti-cheating rhetoric.

Estee Lauder, Yo Yo Ma, Andy Grifith, and Gloria Estefan totally agree. 

[Osaurus 9,195]

This has to be deflating for Trump

[timschochet 35,028]

Wow. I’m impressed. 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience 19,527]

Jack Del Rio is available and willing.
