Former NFL tight end Tony Gonzalez took issue with the New England Patriots players who have declined invitations to the White House to celebrate their Super Bowl LI win.
"If they don't wanna go, that's their right," Gonzalez said, per TMZ Sports. "For me, I think that's silly. If you've got a problem, go there and meet [President Donald Trump]. Say something. That's your opportunity to get your voice out there, to get heard."
In the past, NFL players have occasionally turned down the chance to meet with the president following the Super Bowl.
