The network reached out to Trump’s staff and invited the president to fill out a bracket on-camera, just as President Barack Obama had the past several years. The network recently received word that Trump has passed. An ESPN spokesman said in a statement: “We expressed our interest to the White House in continuing the presidential bracket. They have respectfully declined.”
President Trump is an avid golfer, and has been seen at countless New York Mets games throughout the years. Thus, this can’t be about him not enjoying sports.
More likely than not, he simply doesn’t want to continue something his predecessor started for political reasons.
