Obama Booed During Missouri-Tennessee Football Game
COLUMBIA —
The mention of the U.S. president elicited booing during a halftime ceremony at the Missouri-Tennessee game.
During halftime, new members of the Missouri National Guard were being sworn in on the field of Memorial Stadium, said team spokesman Chad Moller.
Part of the oath the service members took reads, “I will obey the orders of the president of the United States.” During a pause after that line was read, members of the crowd could clearly be heard booing and jeering, said LeMari Porter, an MU student present at the game.
MU student Julia Bosley was sitting in the general admission section on the hill during the game. She said she thinks the man standing behind her, who appeared to be a Missouri fan was the first to boo.
“He started booing, and then it just sort of spread around the stadium,” Bosley said. “I was sitting with my boyfriend’s family, and we all just turned around and looked at him in disbelief.”
Bosley said no one said anything to stop the man, and several people nearby joined in.
Some people said they found the display inappropriate.
Tennessee native Madi Kirk was sitting in the visitors section and heard booing from all sides of the stadium.
“I felt like it was a very serious time and for good reason,” Kirk said. “I thought the booing was disrespectful and that it was the wrong time for it.”
Wild Thing’s comment………….
I’ll agree that the timing was inappropriate, as the reason was that new members of the National Guard were being sworn in – disrespectful to the recruits but it sure as heck was not disrespectful to the evil Obama.
Michelle was booed at a NASCAR race. These are average Americans at auto races and football games.This just shows how much dislike there is for the policies and character of the two obamas.
