FROM NBC NEWS: Donald Trump became the first sitting president in nearly a half-century at a regular-season NFL game, attending the Washington Commanders’ 44-22 loss to the visiting Detroit Lions on Sunday.
There were loud boos from some spectators in the stands when Trump was shown on the videoboard late in the first half — standing in a suite with House Speaker Mike Johnson — and again when the president was introduced by the stadium announcer at halftime.
The jeering continued while Trump read an oath for members of the military to recite as part of an on-field enlistment ceremony during the break in the game.
Amon-Ra St. Brown, the Lions’ star receiver, was happy to have Trump in the stands. He did the “Trump Dance” during Sunday’s game against the Commanders. Near the end of the first quarter, he caught a nine-yard touchdown pass from Jared Goff.
“I heard Trump was going to be at the game,” St. Brown said afterward. “I don’t know how many times the president’s going to be at the game, so just decided to have some fun.”
