In 2016, Bill Belichick wrote a note to Donald Trump, calling him “the ultimate competitor and fighter” and saying his “leadership [was] amazing,” as stated by NBC Sports. When asked about the letter, the NFL coach said, “I think anybody that spends more than five minutes with me knows I’m not a political person. My comments are not politically motivated … I write hundreds of letters and notes every month. Doesn’t mean that I agree with every single thing that every single person thinks about politics or religion or other subjects” (via Twitter). He also stated that he had a “friendship and loyalty” to Trump. Then, in 2021, Belichick refused the Presidential Medal of Freedom from Trump, after the Capitol insurrection on January 6, 2021 (via Yahoo Sports).
When it comes to Urban Meyer, Trump previously said, “I don’t know if he endorses me or not, but he’s said awful nice things about me.” When Meyer is asked about politics, though, he avoids the subject, according to Cleveland.com. However, fans think they know where his loyalties lie, after going through the list of accounts the former NFL coach follows on Twitter, which includes Dan Bongino, Laura Ingraham, Candace Owens, and Tucker Carlson.
