Nelly on Patriots Skipping White House: I Love Tom Brady, But He Started This

RadioOnFire.com - During a recent sit-down on FOX Sports 1’s “Undisputed” with Skip Bayless, Nelly shed light on the double standard of some Patriots players skipping out on the White House visit following their Super Bowl win. Some people are angry that Martellus Bennett, Devin McCourty, Dont’a Hightower and Chris Long aren't going to the White House, but this much pressure wasn't put on Tom Brady when he skipped out on visiting Obama last year.

Nelly explained that he feels like Tom Brady gave his teammates permission to opt out of the White House visit when he did so in 2015. He told Bayless, “You didn’t make the vote when Tom Brady — when the head of your team decided that he wasn’t going to come … if he’s not going, he’s the captain. He’s the head. He already decided. He opened this box up. Tom Brady started this. He started it. Let’s just get it out of the bag, and I’m not faulting him because I love Tom Brady, but he started it.”
