Patriots' owner Robert Kraft compared his team's remarkable comeback, after being down 21 to 3 at halftime and overtime, to President Trump's unlikely campaign to win the White House. The Times tweeted out a photo that made it appear more members of the team showed up the last time they won the Super Bowl in 2015.
Under Donald Trump's presidency, they are about to be the first championship team to make a visit at the White House. Our team has accomplished something very special that we are all proud of and will be for years to come.
The Patriots organization objected, tweeting back at the Times that "these photos lack context". In fact, a quick scan of photos through the years suggests that the high attendance at the Obama White House in 2015 was an anomaly-which nonetheless can't be welcome news for Trump. But for the Trump visit, those staffers were seated on the South Lawn. However, Trump's friend and Patriots quarterback Tom Brady skipped the White House visit due to family matters.
The White House said it was notified that Brady was dealing with a "personal family matter" and will not attend the ceremony.

The fun got started for the B's in the second , but not before the crowd was silenced almost four minutes into the period. The home crowd, already uneasy, saw the Bruins give up another one when Hoffman scored again on the power play at 3:42.
This photo from the New York Times raced around social media yesterday. Why? While it's unclear if it was related to the controversy (or if Mr. Trump even knew about it), it threw more fuel on the online fire, with Twitter users responding with the photos of the two years.
Bündchen sent the tweet at 9:46 a.m. - just hours before the White House ceremony and as news of Brady skipping the event broke - but has since deleted it. The march is meant to protest President Donald Trump's administration, which protest organizers say has done everything in its power "to undo progress on climate change".
According to Jeff How of The Boston Herald, the "family matters" Tom Brady mentioned is his mother, Galynn, who is battling cancer since a year ago.
Blount, who led the NFL with 18 rushing touchdowns this season, told NFL Network's Rich Eisen, "I just don't feel welcome in that house, I'm going to just leave it at that".
