Because that USA shit comes in response to some kind of legitimate protest or beef every fucking time.

He got his little boost that he needs so badly. Yet when the moment of glory passes, there's Robert Mueller with his questions, patiently waiting. Not going away. Fucking ever.

middle class types either can't get tickets or can't afford them to events like this. it is very like a mar-a-lago type crowd.

That crowd is mainly upper middle class. They will pay whatever it takes. If my team ever made it there so would I. But since I went to UK, that will never happen.

And i heard a lot of boos as well as cheers.

Unless of course part of the half-time show is him being carried around the field on his throne. 45* has no interest in this game other than figuring how to use it as his own publicity stunt.

To hear them at that volume in a domed stadium, it was about 35 - 40%.
You could hear the boos from the radio feed as well as the ESPN field only feed.
Spouse is listening to Eli Gold, doesn't want to hear ESPN announcers natter on.

In the hopes they would be a "Human Boo Shield", but even using our military as props couldn't stop the booing.

I suspect you're right - both on your factual conclusion and opinion about the Orange One.
