Good for him.

New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick says he won't accept Presidential Medal of Freedom

Belichick said that he was flattered by the offer but that "the decision was made" to decline after the "tragic events of last week."

Belichick, who has coached the Patriots for 21 years and has won six Super Bowls, said that "above all, I am an American citizen with great reverence for our nation's values, freedom and democracy."

He said "conversations" and "actions" about "social justice, equality and human rights" earlier in the season were among the most rewarding in his career.

"Continuing those efforts while remaining true to the people, team and country I love outweigh the benefits of any individual award," he said.
