When the New England Patriots head to the White House to celebrate their stunning Super Bowl 51 victory with noted Patriots fan President Donald Trump, tight end Martellus Bennett won't make the trip.

Bennett told the media during his postgame press conference on Sunday that he wouldn't go.

"It is what it is," he said. "People know how I feel about it. Just follow me on Twitter."

If you follow Bennett on Twitter, you'll know that last week he tweeted this:

During media day, in the lead-up to the Super Bowl, Bennett said he probably wouldn't make the trip to the White House if his team won the game.

"I don't support the guy that's in the House," he said.

An athlete skipping a White House visit is nothing new. In 2012, Tim Thomas, then the Boston Bruins goalie, snubbed Barack Obama because he disagreed with Obama's politics.

But Bennett's decision is notable because the Patriots are the first team to win a title during the Trump administration. And Trump, who picked the Patriots to win by eight before leaving a Super Bowl party early, will likely revel in hosting Patriots owner Robert Kraft, coach Bill Belichick, and quarterback Tom Brady, all of whom he gave a shout-out to in a tweet after the Patriots sealed the win.
