Donald Trump is reportedly appointing Bill Belichick to his sports council
According to Axios, the group consists of "some old Trump friends."
President Donald Trump is appointing Bill Belichick to his “Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition,” Axios reported Friday.
An executive order Trump signed in February states the purpose of the council is to “expand and encourage youth sports participation, and to promote the overall physical fitness, health, and nutrition of all Americans.”
Other members of the council reportedly will include golfer Natalie Gulbis, three-time Olympic beach volleyball gold medalist Misty May-Treanor, retired Yankees closer Mariano Rivera, retired NFL running back Herschel Walker, and Dr. Mehmet Oz. According to Axios, the group consists of “some old Trump friends.”
Axios reports Trump will soon welcome the council members to the White House and host “a sports field day” on the South Lawn. Secretary of Health and Human Services Alex Azar is expected to host the first meeting.
The report comes just days after a New York Times story that reported the President and the Patriots head coach spent “a long time” talking on the phone about quarterback Tom Brady’s status with the team.
