Soccer legend Lionel Messi opted not to attend the Presidential Medal of Freedom ceremony at the White House on Saturday, prompting rumors that he ‘snubbed’ Joe Biden.
Messi was one of 19 recipients of the award, which is the nation’s highest civilian honor.
“Lionel Messi SNUBBED Joe Biden, and skipped the Presidential Medal of Freedom ceremony, where he was supposed to receive the award. Messi didn’t even send anyone to accept it on his behalf,” journalist Nick Sortor wrote.
