New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick has always been a relatively private and reserved person who does not reveal much about himself publicly, but apparently he made his political views pretty well known during his time as the head coach of the New England Patriots.
During a recent appearance on The Herd with Colin Cowherd, former New England Patriots player Logan Ryan revealed that Bill Belichick was a Donald Trump supporter and that it was well known throughout the locker room.
“I see kind of the turn of the political statements coming out from Bill, supporting Trump and whatnot, and we said, ‘We’re not going to talk about anybody’s own personal beliefs.’ I saw all that kind of [shake up] the locker room, like, ‘Hey we don’t talk about those things, why are you talking about those things?’ …” Ryan said on The Herd according to The Spun.
“But times have changed. People want to talk about political views. Political views got into football. People want to do commercials. It’s OK to have your cell phone in a meeting. These things, employees in a workplace demand change, and I think as a boss you’ve got to understand that.”
It’s not clear whether or not Belichick still supports Trump, but Ryan claims he did back then.
