It's actually kind of odd that no president has ever attended a Super Bowl before Trump today. For example, here's at least 10 times that a president has been to the World Series, although most were before the post-1963 era of heightened security www.nytimes.com/2014/10/25/u... - ThreadSky

Americans are easily distracted from the reality what is happening to their country under president Musk & VP Trump.

dovernick.bsky.social•14 days ago

Philly fans will almost certainly boo him. Hopefully TV will not try to sound edit.

bonnielt.bsky.social•13 days ago

It’s broadcast on Fox. Of course they will try to edit and state manage everything.

gedalia.bsky.social•14 days ago

Hoping they boo the hell out of him, but they probably won’t

ecoprairiepainter.bsky.social•14 days ago

Coolidge in Wilson? Makes sense, both needed votes. But their policies were never good for most Americans.

lfleenor.bsky.social•14 days ago

He’s going because he HATES Taylor Swift. PERIOD.

dloprinzi.bsky.social•14 days ago

I wish the precedent didn’t have to be broken with THIS president for MY hometown Philadelphia Eagles. I don’t want Trump to be within a zillion miles from this special fun day, and yet here we are.

willbunch.bsky.social•14 days ago

I sort of agree, but I also think there's high potential for Trump to get booed if the opportunity arises (this will be a Philly crowd, after all!) and that could be a very good thing in the public discourse

dovernick.bsky.social•14 days ago

So sound editing could make the boos inaudible but we will know from social media. My odd thought is that his attendance could be used by the Birds as an excuse for not going to the White House. Trump has pretty much ruined the game for this Steelers fan.

dloprinzi.bsky.social•14 days ago

Yes that could be the saving grace, for sure. Even still, the magic of being a Birds fan during the last couple months was that the welcome distraction from the hellscape we knew Trump would bring, & is bringing. I just want to enjoy the festivities w/o him ruining it like he does everything else.

I am even wondering if Melon Husk will be there

swisscheese.bsky.social•14 days ago

So true I hope they do

"A video posted by the NFL on YouTube suggests there may have been some boos when Trump appeared on the screen, but they were largely drowned out by the cheers."

dloprinzi.bsky.social•12 days ago

We’re a 50-50 nation at the moment, so it’s only logical that there would be both boos and cheers. This is ultimately a non-story.

danapico.bsky.social•12 days ago

Fortunately, we're closer to a 51-49 nation, with conservatives in the slight lead.

Rumor has it musk has paid for a commercial(s) to give his version of wasteful spending.

A certain German chancellor attended the Olympic Games in Berlin in 1936. The timeline we are on might as well be based on a history book.

Boycott SBLIX!!!

katyys.bsky.social•13 days ago

I think the biggest thing .. it’s a pain in the ass for the President to attend anything.. and my understanding is that mostly they would rather they didn’t… no one wants to be the event where he gets shot at..

mmwh.bsky.social•14 days ago

And you know Trump will brag about the crowds who came to see him.

pattymc.bsky.social•14 days ago

Maybe they read the Tom Clancy novel.

democracydiana.bsky.social•14 days ago

It’s not about the Presidency. The rest of them knew that.

bonnielt.bsky.social•13 days ago

He may think it’s a giant rally for him. I’m sure we will see him bragging about crowd size (not influenced by his decision to attend), and ratings (even if they are not the highest ever).

stephstephking.bsky.social•14 days ago

Bill Clinton went to a Stanley Cup game the first time the Capitals made it there

danapico.bsky.social•14 days ago

Donald Trump attended the #ArmyNavyGame, which occurred after the election but before he was inaugurated, something that Joe Biden never did. Mr Trump had previously attended Army-Navy Game as President, but I don't think he did every year.

Seems like the Super Bowl will be a very hard venue to secure.

frozenbananas.bsky.social•14 days ago

raoul51.bsky.social•14 days ago

Now there are separate rooms above the crowd so security is less of an issue. Previous presidents had taste.

lhurtado.bsky.social•14 days ago

The game is being shown on FOX his favorite fake news station. Supposedly Elonia has purchased ads, letting us know what they have found in their investigation so far on government waste. FU faux fox! He knows the Super Bowl draws huge audiences so he wants to spew his rhetoric to all. Don’t watch!🖕🏼

bonnielt.bsky.social•13 days ago

Don’t watch the game - or the ads!

bethrich52.bsky.social•14 days ago

I very much enjoyed booing Trump when he showed up at Nats Park for game 5 of the 2019 World Series

therealsaiph.bsky.social•14 days ago

It's official: Superbowl lix balls!

therealsaiph.bsky.social•14 days ago

I can't help thinking about the excellent movie "The Sum of All Fears" with Ben Affleck and Morgan Freeman.
If a neo-Nazi group can try to nuke the president in a movie, could Antifa nuke a neo-Nazi 'president' in RL? 🤞

olbermann.bsky.social•14 days ago

What is there to DO at a Super Bowl? Attempt a ceremonial football game?

infinite-regress.bsky.social•14 days ago

How about being humiliated in front of the biggest TV audience of the year by getting the most sustained public booing in history. That would be something to do.

mrjon35.bsky.social•14 days ago

Let’s hope

pattymc.bsky.social•14 days ago
