BREAKING News From Atlanta!! TRUMP Was On The Field When It HAPPENED!

President Donald Trump was greeted by a booming chorus of cheers mixed with a few boos (according to liberals) as he took the field Monday for the singing of our nation’s national anthem ahead of the college football title game between Georgia and Alabama.

The president, who was surrounded by military personnel stood near the 40-yard line with his hand on his heart as the anthem played on. Another wave of cheers and some jeers followed him as he left the field.


It was reported that the President arrived in Atlanta around 6 p.m. local time to attend the all-Southeastern Conference matchup between the two NCAA powerhouses. His motorcade caused gridlock, some confusion, and long lines outside the sold-out stadium but most of the fans didn’t mind and were happy to see the President in attendance.

Before arriving in Atlanta, President Trump took the time to once again criticize the ungrateful ball tossers who refuse to stand during the presenting of our nation’s colors and the national anthem. He also told attendees at an agriculture meeting in Tennessee earlier today that “we love our flag and we love our anthem and we want to keep it that way.” He added to thunderous applause: “We want our national anthem respected, too.”

The remarks came at an appearance at the American Farm Bureau Federation’s annual meeting in Nashville, which he attended with U.S. Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue. The president attended the game with Perdue, a former Georgia governor who was a former Bulldogs football player, and Nick Ayers, a Georgia native and top aide to Vice President Mike Pence.

OZY POLL: THE NFL BOYCOTT IS REAL — AND BIG

Because controversies — and politics — are taking their toll on America’s most popular sport.

It remains a $14 billion business with a central space in American life, but temblors of controversy have shaken the National Football League in recent years. This season, serious cracks have appeared in its foundation as it became the focus of divisive racial politics. Players’ silent demonstrations during the national anthem to protest the mistreatment of Blacks by law enforcement surged after President Donald Trump described a protesting player as a “son of a bitch.” Meanwhile, no team has hired protest-instigating quarterback Colin Kaepernick. Amid a hot-take fest about patriotism, people on both sides of the aisle have called for a boycott of the NFL. An exclusive SurveyMonkey and OZY poll reveals that the movement has caught on:

33 PERCENT OF FOOTBALL FANS SAID THEY PURPOSEFULLY STOPPED WATCHING OR ATTENDING NFL GAMES THIS SEASON.

Those who sat out had multiple motivations, but the most common one: “in support of Donald Trump,” a reason given by 32 percent of surveyed boycotters. Another 22 percent said they stopped watching or attending in solidarity with players kneeling during the anthem, 13 percent had no interest in the teams playing, 12 percent acted in solidarity with Kaepernick, 11 percent were troubled by the devastating long-term effects of traumatic brain injuries on players and 8 percent said the games were boring. Another 46 percent chose “other” as their reason for boycotting, with replies specifying the national anthem, the American flag and opposing players’ kneeling. (Respondents were allowed to give more than one reason for boycotting.)

This SurveyMonkey/OZY online survey was conducted Dec. 8–11 among a national sample of 1,726 adults ages 18 and older, including 1,223 people who said they are football fans or watch the Super Bowl. Respondents were selected from the nearly 3 million people who take surveys on the SurveyMonkey platform each day. Data has been weighted for age, race, sex, education and geography using census data to reflect the demographic composition of the United States. The modeled error estimate for this survey is plus or minus 3.5 percentage points. The full results can be found here, and cross-tabs can be viewed here.

The protests had a sharp gender split. Men were more likely than women to boycott the NFL overall (39 percent to 26 percent) and more likely to do it to back Trump (35 percent to 25 percent), while women were more likely to opt out in solidarity with kneeling players (30 percent to 17 percent).
