US President Donald Trump speaks alongside New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick (L) and members of the team during a ceremony honoring them as Super Bowl LI Champions on the South Lawn of the White House. (Photo via CBS Boston / Getty Images) WASHINGTON (AP) President Donald Trump congratulated the Super Bowl champion New England Patriots on Wednesday, a normally joyous White House ritual marred by the prison suicide hours earlier of former teammate Aaron Hernandez. Trump hosted the five-time champions on the South Lawn and declared that “no team has been good this long.” “It was a complete team effort. That’s the beauty of what they do, they win as a team,” said Trump, who then drew some parallels to the team’s 25-point comeback against the Atlanta Falcons in February to his own political upset win. “Pundits, boy, are they wrong a lot, aren’t they? They said you couldn’t do it.” Trump saluted a number of individual players but did not mention superstar quarterback Tom Brady, whose friendship he repeatedly touted during his campaign. Brady notified the White House that he was dealing with a “personal family matter” and did not attend the ceremony. Shortly before the event, Brady posted a photo of his parents on Instagram, wishing them a happy anniversary. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Tom Brady (@tombrady) More than two dozen Patriots did not attend the ceremony. Several had said beforehand that would not show for political reasons. Trump also made no mention of Hernandez, who hanged himself in a prison cell hours before the White House visit, according to Massachusetts prison officials. Hernandez, who played for the Patriots from 2010 to 2012, was serving a life sentence for a murder conviction. Days ago, the 27-year-old former tight end was acquitted of a double murder. A team spokesman said the Patriots were aware of the reports of Hernandez’s death but that the club wasn’t expected to comment. One player made an impromptu appearance at a White House press before the official ceremony. Tight end Rob Gronkowski stuck his head in the door of the briefing room as Press Secretary Sean Spicer was holding a televised press briefing. He jokingly asked Spicer whether he needed any help, drawing laughs. Spicer – an avid Patriots fan – responded “I think I got this. But thank you.” Trump has particularly close ties to the Patriots, counting owner Bob Kraft and Belichick as friends. One of Trump’s signature “Make America Great Again” hats was spotted in Brady’s locker in 2015. During the South Lawn ceremony, Trump recounted reading a supportive letter from Belichick on the eve of the election, while Kraft saluted the president as a friend for decades. “It is a distinct honor for us to celebrate what was unequivocally our sweetest championship with a very good friend and somebody whose mental toughness and strength I greatly admire,” said Kraft. The team presented the president with a personalized “Trump” No. 45 jersey and a helmet from the February’s Super Bowl, the first such game to go to overtime. Kraft was one of at least seven NFL team owners who gave $1 million each to Trump’s inaugural committee, a new fundraising report shows. Others include the owners of the Houston Texans, the Washington Redskins, the Jacksonville Jaguars and the LA Rams. Kraft gave the money via his Kraft Group LLC. After the triumphant victory, tight end Martellus Bennett quickly made it clear he was not coming to the White House and other teammates followed. Some noted their differences with the Republican administration though many others did not an issue a reason for their absence. Defensive back Devin McCourty told Time Magazine that “I don’t feel accepted in the White House. With the president having so many strong opinions and prejudices I believe certain people might feel accepted there while others won’t.” Players have turned down White House invites ever since such events began to take off under President Ronald Reagan. That includes Brady in 2015. He cited a “family commitment” at the time, but there was speculation he declined because of some unflattering comments a spokesman for President Barack Obama made about the “Deflategate” scandal.
