Today in framing
You can count on the Fair 'n' Balanced Network to get right to the substance when public figures attend sporting events, right? Say, Opening Day at Fenway?
Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey and Boston Mayor Michelle Wu were booed by fans at the Red Sox home opener Friday.
The two Democrat politicians took the field at Fenway Park before Friday's game against the San Diego Padres for a pregame ceremony.
And the 36,000-plus fans in attendance showered the Democrats with relentless boos.
Footage of the booing went viral on social media, providing a boasting opportunity for Massachusetts' GOP gubernatorial hopefuls. (Three of whom are then quoted.)
So naturally the same will be on order for Monday night's event at Matison Square Garden, with boos in the lede:
President Donald Trump received a massive reaction from a sold-out crowd at Madison Square Garden for Game 3 of the NBA Finals between the New York Knicks and San Antonio Spurs on Monday night.
As the national anthem was being sung, Trump was shown on the MSG big screen above the court, and a mixed reaction from the crowd ensued.
While there was some cheering, as Trump saluted the crowd from his suite, the boos from those in attendance rang louder before the video panned back to NYPD officers holding flags on the court.
Trump was accompanied by his granddaughter, Kai Trump, who was on his right with her hand over her heart. Knicks owner James Dolan was also in the suite with Trump on his left when he was shown.
This reception by fans in New York City was much different from another key sporting event this year – the College Football National Championship.
College football fans ate up the moment that Trump was on the Jumbotron at Hard Rock Stadium. Similarly, Trump was shown during the national anthem before the game. As he was surrounded by his grandchildren, Trump waved to the crowd, who went raucous with cheers.
New York fans clearly didn’t share the same sentiment as those from Florida.
(Our lone tweet is from an OutKick content creator: "Loud boos at Madison Square Garden when President Trump was shown on the Jumbotron during the the national anthem. Some cheering too, but the boos were definitely louder.")
On the optimistic side, it's a nice lesson in the value of the active voice in covering your tracks.
