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.
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.

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.
