Super Bowl 2017 News and Update: New England Patriots, Atlanta Falcons Remain Silent Amidst Donald Trump Criticisms

Even though the entire world is talking about the latest acts of Donald Trump regarding the country's immigration policies, the players, as well as the coaches that are in this year's Super Bowl 2017 are in for some neutral zone time. Almost all of the popular movie and TV celebrities have all voiced their dismay regarding the new immigration ban of Trump.

However, despite all of these, the New England Patriots have chosen to keep their ideas and perspectives to themselves. With this, the Atlanta Falcons shared the same sentiments, and that is to keep their mouth shut.

Belichick Welcomes Any Question Other than Political Ones

According to Washington Times, Bill Belichick welcomed questions about Super Bowl 2017 or regarding his underwear. But if it was about his views on the current political situation that his country is in, he opted to stay silent.

When he was asked, he simply shook his head. On the other hand, Tom Brady also followed his coach's plan of action. According to SMH, Brady said that he opts not to talk about politics and would rather stick with Super Bowl 2017 or any other things about the NFL.

The Real Reason Behind the NFL's Silence

This sure is a surprising and curiosity-awakening moment, knowing that all of their peers and all of the people around the world have voiced out their thoughts about the hot issue. The big Hollywood stars have all showcased their hate against Trump, together with the giant tech company CEOs.

Even Michael Bradley and Kyle Lowry of the NBA showed their disappointment with Trump's policy. Surely, there is a serious reason behind this. Maybe it all boils down to respect, or perhaps something more sinister.

What do you think about the real reason as to why these NFL personalities decide to remain silent?
