Speaking to Super Bowl media on Monday, Bennett said he "likely" wouldn't go to the White House because he doesn't support President Donald Trump. The idea of professional athletes not visiting the Trump White House after a championship has been floated before, but Bennett may be the first to openly acknowledge it. Martellus Bennett on if he'd go to the White House if Patriots win the Super Bowl: Most likely not, because I don't support the person in it — Dave Birkett (@davebirkett) January 31, 2017 On Monday, Bennett also expressed a lack of support for Trump's executive order barring immigrants from seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the U.S. America was built on inclusiveness not exclusiveness. — Martellus Bennett (@MartysaurusRex) January 30, 2017 It's unclear how the Patriots would handle such a situation, especially since Tom Brady is close friends with Trump and Bill Belichick privately supported Trump. If this feeling exists among professional athletes, Bennett may have opened the door for others to do the same.   Share the latest business news with your network:    Email sent to:   |   Manage your email preferences   |   Unsubscribe Terms of Service   |   Privacy Policy Business Insider. 150 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 10011
