NFL fans are reacting to President Donald Trump leading an enlistment ceremony for incoming military members at the recent Commanders-Lions game. Trump recently made history in his administration as the sitting POTUS attended a regular season game in almost fifty years.
Even while President Trump was reading the oath, the crowd erupted in jeers and boos. The POTUS went undeterred and continued leading the ceremony. President Trump not only led the enlistment ceremony, but also managed to take part in some play-by-play commentary and gave an interview with Fox Sports. Many fans on social media called out the crowd for dishonoring the enlistment ceremony, simply because they didn’t like the POTUS.

“An unforgettable day at the Washington Commanders game, where patriotism takes the field! President Trump showing how to make game day truly monumental!”anotherfanechoed.
“As a service member at the game, it was embarrassing the public treated these new service members with such disrespect.”One morefan remarked.
The crowd was of course booing at President Trump and not the new members of the military. However, many felt that the fans at the stadium should have withheld their booing and their jeering at least until the ceremony was over.
