According to this, the First Lady was booed at the Philidelphia Eagles game during the coin toss

[JohnSJ]

I am so f**king sick and tired of the HATE, RACISM, SEXISM, AND BIGOTRY, that trump and the RETHUGS have brought to country.

I don't recommend people click on the link reporting this, but I am putting here because this is what Microsoft reported on their site.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/football-fans-showed-their-true-feelings-about-jill-biden-at-eagles-game/ar-AA136BG4?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=685fd31d9d504339b7b7885445679af8

It isn't a f**king exageration, but this country is following the same steps that led to hitler in nazi Germany.

They Germans made hitler chanclor, because they thought they could "control him". That worked out real well.

The repukes are following the same script

Here are the latest generic poll numbers, Democrats vs republicans:

Regardless how one feels about polls, the results indicate a dead heat, and that means that turnout will win or lose the election

1. She joined the ranks of Santa Claus. Abused by Philadelphia Eagle fans

[GoCubsGo]

17. At least she wasn't at a Flyers game.

They would have thrown batteries at her.

(Truth be told, the handful of Flyers fans with whom I have interacted were very nice people. They were visiting another board I used to frequent, rooting for Kimmo Timonen to finally win a Stanley Cup after he was traded to the Blackhawks. He did. )

[Walleye]

37. Same here, the Flyers fans are much more civilized than the crazy Eagles fans on the 50 yard line

[wnylib]

38. Maybe it was Dallas fans who booed her.

I can easily see Texans doing that. I can easily imagine groups of Texans going to the game just for that purpose if they knew that she would be there.

[Walleye]

39. Yeah it doesn't seem right, she's actually from the Philly area. She has an accent like that

[Trenzalore]

47. Dallas fans steer clear of Lincoln Financial Field on game days

It isn't a pleasant place to go wearing an opponent's jersey.

[wnylib]

52. Oh dear.

[Initech]

54. Sounds about right. Most of the Cowboys fans I know tend to be on the boorish side.

[hlthe2b]

2. They boo literally everyone--even Santa Claus. I'm not overly concerned.

[Casady1]

20. They also pelted SC

with snowballs.

[IggleDuer]

35. I was at that game.

Suffice it to say, there was more to the story….

[Deminpenn]

3. Eagle fans are equal opportunity boo birds

for those unfamiliar.

[Evolve Dammit]

33. Must be so proud....

[calimary]

44. Yeah, no shit...

[Nevilledog]

4. Every single outlet reporting this is RW noise

NY Post
Daily Caller
Post Millennial
Fox

[JohnSJ]

6. This was off the MSN, (Microsoft page). Most likely fetched from the right wing sources you named

[Nevilledog]

8. Yup

[JohnSJ]

9. Thanks for pointing that out

[hadEnuf]

30. But of course. It's the only reason they exist.

To make a mountain out of a molehill over Democrats. Once it's proven that the audio was doctored it will be reported on page 25 down in the corner of the newspaper somewhere, if they even report it at all.

It's how propaganda works and there are no constraints on lying propaganda in this country at all.

[Doc_Technical]

5. Philadelphia fans can be quite rowdy.

Google-philadelphia fans boo santa

[JohnSJ]

7. Santa is not the First Lady. Philadelphia the city of "brotherly love", what BS

[SalamanderSleeps]

10. Philidelphia Eagles who?

Their fans have season tickets to the mundane.

Nice city to get lost in though.

[JohnSJ]

11. Your last sentence is so correct. Even my GPS gets confused

[Trenzalore]

49. 6-0

[BlueTsunami2018]

12. It was a mixed response.

Some boos, some cheers. Eagle nation isn’t partisan one way or the other. Half the fans aren’t from the city proper. South Jersey is Тяцмрland. Of course there were going to be boos.

The Flyers fans booed the piss out of Sarah Palin when the idiot owner brought her out for the ceremonial pick drop. That was not a mixed reaction.

At the end of the day, it’s meaningless.

Philly is as blue as it gets.

[JohnSJ]

13. Thanks for the context. Obviously, the illustrious right wing media reporting this is trying to

distort it

[TheBlackAdder]

25. Yeah, but half of the fans are from the redneck suburbs of SW & W Philly and So. NJ.

[wnylib]

41. And how many were from Dallas?

Texans would eagerly boo the First Lady.

[BlueTsunami2018]

50. Very, very few.

Opposing fans don’t really come to The Linc. Dallas fans especially. It’s not a welcoming environment for them.

[Deminpenn]

57. Wait until Sunday after next

when the Steeler fan diaspora, many of whom live and work in Phila and environs, shows up.

[LenaBaby61]

14. Weren't they the same geniuses who were cheering when Michael Ervin or one of the cowboys...

Got injured, and had to be packed off the field years ago?

[JohnSJ]

15. It sure isn't a good reflection on the team

[budkin]

21. I was watching that happen live on TV horrified

It looked like he'd broken his neck.

[LenaBaby61]

22. I just looked it up .....

And when Irvin got injured that day, his career ended. And to think, the crowd was cheering and waving and heckling him on his way off the field, and you're right, that injury was horrifying. I saw it happen also. I was over a friend's house who had satellite that Sunday. Even if you weren't a doctor (I was an RN, until I was injured at work), you could sense and feel something was really wrong with Irvin. He still never criticized the fans though for enjoying his career-ending injury.

[Traildogbob]

28. Same fucking panty stains.

So sometimes they do not boo, they cheer, like when an opponent may be parlayed.
But gotta say, when trump strokes, shits his diapers and loses all bodily functions, this Cowboy fan will cheer, toss battery’s and fling snowballs at any repug in sight.
Not much else for us to cheer for until Jerry Jones joins trump in hell.
Anyway, to you civil Philly fans, congrats, you guys have an amazing classy superstar rising QB that will haunt us and our billion dollar always injured, pressure freak out QB for years to come.
See ya in Jerry World Christmas Eve, so you can stick a pin in our season.
Philly fans would boo Jesus, the long haired, dark skinned, dress wearing, non English speaking, liberal, unemployed preacher living off of socialized contributions. Unless he takes one Philly Cheese stake and feeds millions in their state. But none for libs or the boo birds will fly.

[Trenzalore]

46. The city of Philadelphia is the reason Joe Biden won PA

For the past month it is endless commercial after commercial and now we get texts 7 times a day from both parties.

Anyone associated with politics is getting booed with that going on. It was foolish for the White House to send her out to a game during the mid-terms.

[Traildogbob]

48. I think you are right.

[Elessar Zappa]

16. That's not what I heard.

I did hear some boos but to me it seemed like there was more cheering.

[JohnSJ]

18. +++

[tishaLA]

19. Eagles fans also boo the Eagles

NBD.

[LenaBaby61]

23. True that 👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻

[LymphocyteLover]

32. LOL! Thank you.

[CousinIT]

24. I refuse to click on the link but if it is from today, MSNBC has been very busy..

...pushing NEGATIVITY about Democrats today. It's AS IF they got some edict from their corprat bosses to start talking down Democrats before midterms to help ensure they lose their asses. 6 or so HUGE corporations own all the media in the US. They HATE paying taxes, or being regulated and are all run by millionaires and billionaires who are buying up more an more of our media - including social media - every day. They PREFER Republican gov't. ALL of them.

Democrats have NO media presence compared to Republicans. Traditional or social. Except DU.

[SouthBayDem]

26. The actual video from the NFL

Judge for yourself

Link to tweet

[Buckeye_Democrat]

43. Quite different!

I think the audio was doctored in the other video clip.

Typical GOP "alternative facts" propaganda!

[Rhiannon12866]

53. Thanks for posting!

[lees1975]

27. I watched the game

and there were a lot of fans standing and cheering. Booing tends to drown things out, but really, I didn't hear any booing and though I'm sure there were some there who did, it wasn't anywhere near as much as it was when Trump got roundly booed at a Washington Nationals game, or Pence in Indianapolis when his face appeared on the screen.

[Jim__]

29. Microsoft reported that the NYPost and twitter reported that the First Lady was booed.

From the linked article:

According to the Post and many accounts on Twitter, Joe Biden's other half was booed by the crowd.

[modrepub]

31. Santa...AGAIN!?!

From Snopes: [link:https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/philadelphia-fans-boo-santa-claus/|

Even before it had barely begun, however, the halftime show started to go as awry as the Eagles’ season. A day’s worth of snow and the pounding cleats of large football players had turned much of the field to muck, and the float quickly got stuck in the mud, meaning Santa would have to abandon his traditional means of conveyance and parade around on foot instead. But Santa was nowhere to be found, the person hired to portray him (depending upon which report one believes) having been prevented from making it to Franklin Field due to either an excess of inclement weather or an excess of alcoholic refreshments. In a panic, the Eagles’ entertainment director, Bill Mullen, approached a fan sitting in the stands, 20-year-old Frank Olivo, to fill in for the absent Santa Claus. Olivo, who had worn a red corduroy Santa suit and a fake beard to the game, was given a large sack and tapped to weave down the field between two columns of Eaglettes, waving to the crowd as the brass band played “Here Comes Santa Claus.” Years later, Olivo recalled what happened next:

“That’s when the booing started. At first, I was scared because it was so loud. But then I figured, hey, it was just good-natured teasing. I’m a Philadelphia fan, I knew what was what. I thought it was funny.”When Olivo finished his run down Santa Claus Lane, he got into range. A fan in the upper deck threw the first snowball. As Santa hit the south end zone, one turned into ten, then into 100.

“When I hit the end zone, and the snowballs started, I was waving my finger at the crowd, saying ‘You’re not getting anything for Christmas,'” Olivo recalled.

“Oh, I got pelted,” Olivo says. He remembers being hit by several dozen snowballs, which suggests that many of the upper-deck denizens were more accurate passers than [the Eagles’ quarterback]. “I didn’t mind,” he says. “I started kibitzing with some of the people throwing the snowballs.”

Still, he had his limits. “When I finished, Mr. Mullen asked if I wanted to do it again the next year,” Olivo says. “I told him, ‘No way. If it doesn’t snow, they’ll probably throw beer bottles.”

[tritsofme]

34. This is pretty silly.

Politicians get booed at sporting events, who cares?

[oldsoftie]

36. Thank you. Its nothing new. Especially in Philly

[Tree-Hugger]

40. Philly fans misbehave?

There's a problem of Philly fans AREN'T boo'ing someone.

Philly has some deep red pockets, but fans are also coming from surrounding counties and even Jersey. I'm not surprised there are people boo'ing. That said, I wasn't there, but it didn't seem that major on TV.

Go birds.

[BumRushDaShow]

42. None of the local news here reported anything of the sort

and mentioned her remarks about Cancer Awareness.

The Linc can hold almost 68,000 so if this did happen, it was from a cherry-picked group. Only RW media has reported this nonsense. Surprise surprise.

[Trenzalore]

45. Any politician is getting booed

I live a little north of Philly. Every time you turn on the TV it is nothing but political attack ads. No matter the time of day. People are sick of it regardless of party. It is relentless. It doesn't matter who they brought out associated with politics left or right they are getting booed because the only thing the folks in the stadium wanted to do was watch Dallas get their butts handed to them and drink beer. They didn't want to be reminded of the non-stop partisan politics that is going on their TVs and now text messages.

[Initech]

55. The New York Post is the source on this. Murdoch trash.

Of course they'd amplify even the slightest amount of booing.

[JohnSJ]

56. Thanks for the context

[Deminpenn]

58. Any pol appearing at a sporting event should expect to be booed

Anyway, FLOTUS is a local girl having grown up right outside the city (S NJ, Willow Grove, Hatboro). She's an Eagles fan, too, iirc. Heck, she even knows the words to "Fly Eagles, Fly", the team fight song. I'm sure there was booing when she was introduced, but also that she probably got a laugh out of it.

FTR, was at games where Steeler fans cheered when Bradshaw was carted off on a stretcher just before halftime and one where Pirate fans booed Clemente.
