The fans at the Washington Commanders vs. Detroit Lions game booed President Donald Trump when he addressed them at Northwest Stadium. Trump attended the game to take part in the NFL’s Salute to Service festivities.
Donald Trump became the first sitting president in nearly 50 years to attend an NFL regular-season game. When Trump was shown on the videoboard late in the first half, fans began booing the president. There was more jeering when he read an oath for members of the military to recite as part of an on-field ceremony.

“We are honored to welcome President Trump to the game as we celebrate those who have served and continue to serve our country,” Commanders president Mark Clouse said before the game. “The entire Commanders organization is proud to participate in the NFL’s league-wide Salute to Service initiative, recognizing the dedication and sacrifice of our nation’s veterans, active-duty service members, and their families this Sunday.”
