President Donald Trump was greeted with a booming chorus of cheers mixed with some boos as he took the field Monday for the national anthem ahead of the college football title game between Georgia and Alabama.
The president, flanked by military members, stood near the 40-yard line with his hand on his heart as the anthem played. Another wave of cheers and jeers followed him as he left the field.
It is Trump’s second visit to Atlanta since he won the election, and several dozen demonstrators protested near the stadium. Some of them sought to remind him of his harsh words about the city: Before his inauguration, he said in a tweet that the congressional district that spans the city is in “horrible shape and falling apart.”
Shortly after arriving in Atlanta, Trump signed a bill that grants Georgia its first national historic park at the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic Site near downtown Atlanta. He signed it shortly after Martin Luther King Jr.’s niece, Alveda King, boarded Air Force One.

ALL I heard was CHEERS!!!
the Yahoo writer was even taken back by how loud the cheering was for our President- video midway down article:
I didn’t hear any boos!
The “boos” were only in your head, Greg.
I didn’t hear boos either.
Chants of USA - USA - USA sound like boos to a libs’ ears.
Is that game tonight?
Alveda drives the Left insane, they can’t mention anything she does or says. Go, Girl!
there were zero audible boos
You weren’t in the press box.
Yup — and without cable CANNOT WATCH
Disappointing that not a single off-the-air signal in the electromagnetic range available. Sad day for TV.
1) any politician is going to receive some boos at a sporting event. That’s iust the way it is.
2) I did not hear any booing. I am sure there was some. I think the reception was pretty strong as far as I am concerned.
That there is all cheering. And I didn’t hear any booing. And I am being very objective.
IMMMPPPEEAAACCCHHH!
I heard “USA, USA, USA!”
Cheers actually: https://archive.is/USHZQ

Same here. We have this on pretty loud and none of us heard any boos. If there were any, they were completely overwhelmed by cheers. The article falsely gives the impression that there was a balance of pro and negative responses, which is completely false. Fake news
