I may have strained my middle finger.

I'll have to do a quick check-in of the game, then switch to something that saves my sanity.

start and he hasn’t been shown or talked about. I’m pretty sure we didn’t miss it. We haven’t left the sound of the TV since the start. 🤷‍♀️

We’re very happy we weren’t subjected to him. I was braced for the unpleasantness, but nothing.

This morning, an ESPN show was talking about how they were searched by the Secret Service and they seem like MAGA types hyped up about him, so I’m glad we didn’t see the creep.

Except for the quick on camera view of him in the beginning (couldn’t miss that red tie) he has not been seen or even mentioned. I do not know if he was booed …..they could have been ready and suppressed the sound….but I sure gave him a loud boo from my recliner!

This has actually been impressive that the network didn’t showboat him like he craves. Thanks for this explanation of his minimal appearance.

He craves our attention. Ignoring him, even when he acts crazy, might drive him insane.

22. That would be ideal, especially in these type settings.

It was noticeable tonight and very nice.

He’s hard to ignore otherwise, since he’s so destructive. But at events like this, it was so refreshing not to see him or hear him mentioned. Edit, except at the very beginning I was informed).
