The Orange One walked on the field for the National Anthem at the football game.

[TomSlick]

Was it wishful thinking or was I hearing boos with the cheers?

[underpants]

1. I heard a lot of USA! USA! Chants. Standard rightwing cover against protestors or negative comments

Prior to that there was something _____ Trump.

That's what I picked up.

[The_Casual_Observer]

35. Whenever I hear that USA USA shit I look around to see what good person/s are causing problems!

Because that USA shit comes in response to some kind of legitimate protest or beef every fucking time.

[brettdale]

2. 70% Cheers 30% boos

probably more like 80% cheers.

Idiots!

[elleng]

3. Likely not wishful thinking.

trump's the one 'wishing,' to be elevated. ?d=1206586267

[snowybirdie]

4. Didn't

look like he knew the words of the National Anthem

[TomSlick]

8. Shocking.

I wonder what percentage of the population does. After that, what percentage of senile dementia patients remember?

[mcar]

15. Think he got one phrase in

Then lost it.

[tanyev]

25. Oh say, can you see

me, me, me, me, me MEEEEEE?
Me, me, me, me, me, me
Me, me, me, me, me, me, me
etc.

[randr]

5. Is the game being broadcasted?

[TomSlick]

11. ESPN

Or was that sarcastic?

[randr]

14. Found it, thanx

[groundloop]

6. What a cheep-ass publicity stunt.... NO LEGITIMATE PRESIDENT would have done that

The orange fuckhead inserted himself into the pre-game ceremonies just to feed his own damned ego.

[TomSlick]

12. Very obviously so.

Or maybe it's just that I despise the guy.

[tymorial]

42. Both is possible

[JNelson6563]

19. Yes but remember this...

He got his little boost that he needs so badly. Yet when the moment of glory passes, there's Robert Mueller with his questions, patiently waiting. Not going away. Fucking ever.

[Ferrets are Cool]

7. You have to understand that "Atlantians"

if that is what they are called, are not the majority of THIS crowd. IF they were, it would be mostly boos.

[groundloop]

9. It's "Atlantans".... and yes, the orange fuck-head is not well liked there

[Ferrets are Cool]

10. Thank you. nm

[Takket]

13. the crowd at events like this are all wealthy corporate types

middle class types either can't get tickets or can't afford them to events like this. it is very like a mar-a-lago type crowd.

someone did project the "fuck trump" light on the stadium

[IADEMO2004]

24. business expense tickets

[GulfCoast66]

27. You underestimate SEC fans

That crowd is mainly upper middle class. They will pay whatever it takes. If my team ever made it there so would I. But since I went to UK, that will never happen.

And i heard a lot of boos as well as cheers.

[Wednesdays]

37. Indeed, tickets are way out of reach for the average Joe and Jane

STARTING at $1440. Per ticket.

[groundloop]

16. I guarantee 45* won't watch 2 minutes of the game.... he's probably already in his limo

Unless of course part of the half-time show is him being carried around the field on his throne. 45* has no interest in this game other than figuring how to use it as his own publicity stunt.

[Ken Burch]

41. You'd think he'd want to see some "beautiful hits", though.

This is a guy who watches football for the injuries.

[highplainsdem]

17. Not wishful thinking. See this tweet from Mark Knoller of CBS:

Link to tweet

Press pool reports loud mix of cheers and boos as Pres Trump walked onto the field.

[underpants]

21. Yep the USA! USA! Chants told me there were boos

or negative chants.

[jalan48]

18. Like a debauched Roman Emperor at the Coliseum.

[TomSlick]

22. A debauched Roman Emperor would have had the good taste to stay in his box.

The Orange One wants only attention.

[dalton99a]

38. Yep.

[haele]

20. You did hear boos.

To hear them at that volume in a domed stadium, it was about 35 - 40%.
You could hear the boos from the radio feed as well as the ESPN field only feed.
Spouse is listening to Eli Gold, doesn't want to hear ESPN announcers natter on.

Haele

[TomSlick]

23. Yeah, I thought so.

Herself was unsure.

[dem4decades]

26. He should have skipped the orange spray and gone with a crimson today. He would have gotten a

better response.

[lunasun]

30. +1

[kimbutgar]

28. Der further needs his praise

[spanone]

29. for one more shining moment, he was the center of attention again

[lpbk2713]

31. They may not have been shouting "Boo".

It could have been "Fuck Yoouu!"

[TomSlick]

33. Yeah, I buy that.

[Bob Loblaw]

32. I was kind of hoping

at least one player would kneel during the anthem so that asshole would leave.

[TomSlick]

34. The teams didn't come out until after the anthem.

No way the Orange One would have come otherwise.

[Bob Loblaw]

36. The way the NFL

used to do it.

[maxrandb]

39. Walked out with ROTC brigade

In the hopes they would be a "Human Boo Shield", but even using our military as props couldn't stop the booing.

God! I fucking hate this orange needle-dicked shitstain.

[TomSlick]

40. That hadn't occurred to me.

I suspect you're right - both on your factual conclusion and opinion about the Orange One.
