Joe Biden gave out the Presidential Medal of Freedom to his leftist buddies like Hillary Clinton and George Soros, but famous soccer player Lionel Messi was also on the list to receive one.
But Messi snubbed Joe Biden and didn’t go:Here’s more form the Daily Mail:
Lionel Messi has risked further fury after opting against attending the glamorous White House ceremony to collect his Presidential Medal of Freedom.
The World Cup winner was awarded America’s highest civilian honor on Saturday, and was invited to meet Joe Biden and collect the award in Washington DC.
As photos began to surface of the ceremony, it became clear that Messi was one of the few recipients to skip the event, and wasn’t pictured on stage with Biden.
The likes of Bono, Magic Johnson, Hillary Clinton and Michael J. Fox all headed for the American capital, but there was no sign of Messi.
It was later confirmed that he had not attended, with official word coming shortly after that his absence was due to a ‘scheduling issue’.
It was also reported that nobody attended to accept the award on his behalf, and the announcer even skipped over Messi’s name when reading out the 2025 recipients of the medal.
He didn’t even send someone to get the medal on his behalf. Wow. I guess I’m a fan of Lionel Messi now!
