Disclaimer: I don't follow sports so I have no idea what game this is, but it must be a significant one so the crowd will be substantial. There might be a lot of eyes on him, observing his every behavior.
Anyway, what will he do if the 'BOOs' are really loud? I mean, they can't muzzle the whole crowd.
How long will it be before the boredom sets in and decides to leave.

(13,386 posts)He will pull a Pence and leave after the anthem.

Congressman John Lewis should spend more time on fixing and helping his district, which is in horrible shape and falling apart (not to mention crime infested) rather than falsely complaining about the election results.

I really am pretty much totally ignorant of most things having to do with college and professional sports. Which is a shame because my Dad was a championship football coach!

(16,245 posts)This is a football game, full of right-wing turds, both at the stadium and watching.
Siwsan
(26,179 posts)Additionally, I know a lot of very non-conservative types who really like football. While I'm not going to watch, I'll be checkin in to DU, to see if anyone posts anything.

(12,264 posts)I think this is a pretty serious generalization. Now with that said, these two schools are in red states but the people who can afford to go to this game are upper class donors and students who get reduced tickets. There may be some boos.

(6,280 posts)... and last time I looked I'm not a right-wing turd. Might come as a shock to you but millions of Democrats will be at the stadium and watching also. I've always wondered why some people on the left who don't like something assumes that everyone on the left doesn't like it.
Freethinker65
(9,935 posts)He has no stamina and no attention span when he is NOT the center of attention. People are attending for the game and not to be in Trumps presence. He does not drink and will no doubt become bored and use a prepared excuse to leave.
Unfortunately Pence already used the players are disrespecting the country option, so it will be interesting to see what they came up with. I think Baron feeling a bit ill might work (shows a devoted father) or some secret important business with NK or China (shows how committed and presidential he is) might work. It will need to be something that trump can tweet about to look good ala I wish I could have stayed to watch the entire game, but alas when you are as brilliant and important as me , often you have to sacrifice your own pleasure and off time to save the world because no one else can do it type spin.
Then he will return to watch tv, eat some junk food, and fall asleep dreaming of golf and pu$$y. And because of this busy day he might even take tomorrow off. He deserves it.
gratuitous
(82,849 posts)As for an excuse? I don't think he'll offer one. He'll just leave, the collective IQ in the stadium will edge up, and two minutes after his seat is cold, nobody will remember he was even there.

(58,442 posts)not many tickets for folks making 50k or less. I wonder what rich asshole has to give up their skybox for Trump?

(54,770 posts)That's how they got there in a lot of cases.

(543 posts)Georgia and Alabama are playing, the game is in Atlanta and, if news reports are correct, ticket prices have gone through the roof. My guess is that if you are from either Georgia or Alabama, and if you have enough money to attend, you're most likely a Republican who won't boo 45. Sigh.

titaniumsalute
(4,742 posts)Unlike a Falcons game these will be very high dollar seats and rich white assholes from all over the country. And a handful of actual sports fans. Thats what i hate about Super Bowls, World Series, Championship games. They have priced the fans out of them.
I had a friend sell her two seats to the Cleveland - Cubs World Series for 2,000 per ticket. The cash bought her entire season tickets for the following year.

I could be wrong but my guess is that he'll be seated in a VIP box and no one will really even know he's there.

(267,847 posts)He will be in a highfalutin box and folks who have come to watch the game will mostly ignore him.
The most drama related to him will be the number of players who kneel.

(3,993 posts)I doubt there will be any kneeling tonight but it would be Great of the players did take a knee

(13,400 posts)and take a knee during the anthem. Once the anthem is over, they will all stand, turn to face Trump and flip him off!

And the teams were not on the field for the anthem, so no possibility to embarrass the big dumb baby.
