HT6. Super Bowl viewers divided at what happened when camera panned to Donald Trump during national anthem

It seems Super Bowl viewers are a little divided at what happened when the camera panned to Donald Trump during the national anthem.

The US President is the first sitting president to attend a Super Bowl as the Kansas City Chiefs take on the Philadelphia Eagles at the New Orleans Superdome this evening (9 February).

In the build-up to the game, Jon Batiste was belting out the American anthem, as the camera showed Trump take his seat in the stands.

But while the Grammy-winning singer was performing, some fans thought the new president was getting booed by people in the crowd.
Y’all didn’t boo at Donald Trump loud enough,” one person said over on X.

“That was pretty s**tty to show Trump during Jon Batiste singing the National Anthem, forced me and half of America to boo,” a second penned.

However, others couldn’t work out if it was a boo or a cheer.

Someone else said: “Did they cheer or boo Trump? Difficult to tell.”

As another echoed: “Did they boo or cheer Trump at the #SuperBowlLIX?”

I look forward to joining the fans in New Orleans for Super Bowl LIX to cheer on two great teams – the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles – as they battle for the National Football League’s Vince Lombardi Trophy,” Trump said in a statement before the game.

“The coaches, players, and team staff on the field tonight represent the best of the best in professional football, but they also embody the best of the American Dream.

“Their hard work, dedication, and tenacity is admirable, and their individual journeys are as inspiring as the drive and determination that has led them to this extraordinary moment.

“They also represent the hopes and dreams of our Nation’s young athletes as we restore safety and fairness in sports and equal opportunities among their teams.

“Football is America’s most popular sport – for good reason – it fosters a sense of national unity, bringing families, friends, and fans together and strengthening communities.
