Right? Which didn't make sense. You don't cheer someone during an anthem. Especially in this situation where you know people will be booing so your noise is just going to make it louder

The people who sing anthems at these kind of profile events have typically done it before. I do sound for an nfl team and have seen some of the same faces quite a few times over the years. My point is while sure maybe this meant a lot to them, they’re professional af at this level and were most likely (like 99.some percent likely) aware they were going to cut to Trump during the performance and would of been told at rehearsal.
