Michael Jordan’s former teammate, Ron Harper, took a cheeky jab at Lionel Messi for his absence at the White House ceremony to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honor in the U.S.
The Argentine World Cup winner and eight-time Ballon d'Or winner was one of the 18 recipients, including NBA legend Magic Johnson, of the honor on Saturday. However, the soccer superstar did not attend the celebration at the White House.
Fox News journalist Nick Sortor later posted on X (formerly Twitter), alleging Messi didn’t even send a representative to accept it on his behalf. Sortor claimed it was:
“A big “F YOU” to Joe Biden 🤣🔥.'"
