Landover, Maryland – Video filmed by Kyle McCarthy shows a large crowd booing during an event where former President Donald Trump was asked to lead the Oath of Enlistment for new U.S. military recruits as part of the NFL’s Salute to Service on November 09, 2025.

The crowd’s reaction was so loud it drowned out the PA system, turning what was meant to be a patriotic tribute into a dramatic display of public disapproval.

The incident unfolded amid heightened political tension.

Trump’s appearance at the game reflects a broader pattern where political figures are invited to sports events, often resulting in divided reactions from the public.

The backlash at the stadium underscored ongoing political divisions. Some viewed the boos as a protest against Trump’s leadership, while others considered them disrespectful to the military and the office of the presidency, according to discussions across social media.
