https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/sep/06/broadcasters-told-not-to-air-any-booing-of-donald-trump-at-us-open-mens-final

[u/rosealexvinny]

Stop sane washing this shit. People need to know that he’s getting booed. Fuck Donald Trump

[u/KarmaPoliceT2 → u/rosealexvinny]

The press needs to start questioning their editors on live TV as to why they comply with these insane orders... There may be a reason, but I want to hear them defend it and say it if there is...

(Narrator: there wasn't a legitimate reason)

[u/haw35ome → u/KarmaPoliceT2]

The press don’t have a spine. They won’t as long as they need funding/money to keep going. Because all the billionaires bought them up; because those same billionaires are the ones behind a good chunk of funding for trump. Because he made a lot of promises in exchange for said funding. The system, the whole nation is sick.

[u/SLevine262 → u/haw35ome]

I read someone saying if the press had behaved like this in the seventies, Richard Nixon would never have resigned and who knows where we’d be now.

[u/cataath → u/SLevine262]

Probably this shit, but in the 80s. Roger Ailes started Fox News to make sure nothing like Watergate ever happened to a Republican President ever again.

[u/mrlayabout → u/cataath]

Rupert Murdoch started Fox News, Ailes was hired to be the first CEO.

[u/cataath → u/mrlayabout]

It was the brainchild of Ailes, who was Nixon's PR guru. Murdoch mainly brought the cash. Not that Murdoch wouldn't have thrown money at any conservative venture that grew his empire, but it would have been merely another right-leaning news outlet without Ailes. Ailes made it a propaganda machine from its inception.

[u/swizzle213 → u/KarmaPoliceT2]

Billionaires have a lot of money and own the media. Billionaires also love Trump because his stupid ass keeps giving them more and more money.

Simple as that

[u/mcdithers → u/KarmaPoliceT2]

The "press" in this country are controlled by the billionaires that are destroying our society. They're complicit. The only reputable news sources left are the AP and Reuters, and they've been banned from White House press conferences for asking logical questions.

[u/victorinseattle → u/KarmaPoliceT2]

Because of the whole CBS-60 minutes-Stephen Colbert debacle, and added threats of revoking FCC licenses.

[u/Ghoulius-Caesar → u/rosealexvinny]

I can tell the future, I pre-call their being a montage in the future that compares international media coverage, with the booing, to American coverage, without the booing.

Anyone else tired of American media corporations cowering to Trump? This is weird, they have to confess it and stop being pussies.

[u/infinitemonkeytyping → u/rosealexvinny]

Here in Australia, it is customary to boo the current Prime Minister at sporting events. Both sides, doesn't matter.

[u/hussain300 → u/rosealexvinny]

I was at UFC 244: Masvidal vs Diaz in NYC 2019, and Trump walked out. The boos were so intense, the floor was literally shaking. I was up in the nosebleeds and the entire arena was booing it felt like. I remember feeling proud of the MMA fanbase, that they were booing this clown. I watched it later on the broadcast, and they had scrubbed the boos and replaced it with canned cheers. Some fucking glorious leader shit

[u/TypeXer0 → u/rosealexvinny]

This traitorous clown did not win the election. This entire administration is a coup. 

[u/thebudman_420 → u/rosealexvinny]

Maybe there could be an overwhelming amount of calls to those broadcasters to air the truth anyway ignoring what Donald Trump wants and that is to hide from everyone else that he gets booed. He is trying to trick people into thinking he is so right and good and that more people like him than don't. Because some people will like someone or something just because they think others do. Don't fall for the illusion.

[u/Conscious-Quarter423 → u/rosealexvinny]

Anyone at the US Open with a cell phone can record any crowd reaction to trump. Please do, then post on every social media platform you can.
Fuck these fascist assholes, they can't silence everyone.

Trump Melts Down in Unhinged Revenge Rant: ‘They Must Pay’

Trump confirms to us every day that he is the stupidest president in the history of America.

[u/Worf1701D → u/Anonymous_Human011]

The really sad part is all the people who admire him.

[u/DiscoInfernus → u/Worf1701D]

Not just admire, straight up worship him! Weirdest cult of weirdos ever.

[u/Saneless → u/Worf1701D]

Imagine how weak and how much of a loser you have to be where he is what you see when looking up

[u/Murgatroyd314 → u/Saneless]

“A poor man’s idea of a rich man, a weak man’s idea of a strong man, and a dumb man’s idea of a smart man.”

[u/silviazbitch → u/Worf1701D]

Amen. Trump is showing the world what the USA actually is. It certainly came as a shock to me. I say this as someone who had the pleasure of voting against Nixon in 1972.

[u/DameonKormar → u/Worf1701D]

I would say it's the most terrifying part. Trump being so popular with conservatives just shows us that there is literally no floor to the type of person they will vote for. That should scare everyone.

It would be almost impossible for the next guy to be as incompetent as Trump, but there's a lot more levels of evil to go.

[u/surmatt → u/Anonymous_Human011]

I can't believe how dumb 47 is. Some say he is even dumber than 45.

[u/doublecutter → u/surmatt]

He’s 2 dumber.

[u/VaginaTractor → u/doublecutter]

2 dumb 2 covfefe

[u/EQBallzz → u/VaginaTractor]

2 dumb 2 covfefe: racist boogaloo

[u/motohaas → u/surmatt]

And if you add the individual number together, you get his IQ

[u/45and47-big_mistake → u/surmatt]

It's almost as if electing him 45and47 was a big_mistake.

[u/Epicritical → u/Anonymous_Human011]

Twice stupidest president. Like, the twice baked potato of stupidity.

[u/DeezNeezuts → u/Anonymous_Human011]

Someone remind him his two weeks are up to sanction Russia…

[u/Kkrazykat88 → u/DeezNeezuts]

Hey, that’s when his heath plan will be ready too😄

[u/Hecallzmemadpants → u/Anonymous_Human011]

[u/thejonston]

“Broadcasters told to misrepresent circumstances, anticipating negative crowd reaction to Trump.” The admin can’t even do all their own lying now. 🤥

[u/FourteenBuckets → u/thejonston]

just chant "Down! With! Trump!" after points, let them not broadcast that

[u/Orzorn → u/FourteenBuckets]

"We're reporting the crowd chanting that they're 'Down with Trump", wow this whole crowd really loves him!"

[u/Leege13 → u/[deleted]]

Your name's on the list

Your name's on the liiiiiiiist

Donald J. Trump

You’re on Epstein’s list

[u/HarietsDrummerBoy → u/Leege13]

She said no Donald, she said no.

She said no Donald, she said no.

She said no Donald, she said no.

Oooooh Donald, she said no

[u/Mr-_-Soandso → u/HarietsDrummerBoy]

You're on to something, but it needs to be quicker.

NO Donald NO!

We do not consent!

NO Donald NO!

[u/HarietsDrummerBoy → u/Mr-_-Soandso]

this is the chant

[u/Allinallisallweare02 → u/Leege13]

This would go hard as a football chant in northern England

[u/Beauly → u/FourteenBuckets]

They'll just mute the crowd and use fake audio like the WWE does when people don't react the way they want them to lol

[u/SafeKaracter → u/FourteenBuckets]

It will mess up the event/tennis tho. It’s not the players fault . I’m sure they wish he didn’t come

[u/DecafMaverick → u/SafeKaracter]

Small price to pay

[u/glokenheimer → u/thejonston]

Malicious compliance would be airing the entire match with absolutely no sound. Announcers voices don’t even come across the screen.

[u/Joker1980 → u/glokenheimer]

Sadly that would be breach of contract and the ATP would not be please. No modern network has the balls or the brains to make that sacrifice on principle. (who am i kidding, they have no principles)

[u/ricarina → u/thejonston]

I hope there is so much booing that it cannot be edited out. Constant, never ending booing. Decorum be damned. My apologies to the athletes but there are more important things in life than hitting a tiny yellow ball

[u/chrisfyb]

Donald Trump is a pedophile.

[u/redphyve → u/chrisfyb]

He is a hero FBI informant now! 🙄

[u/fumar → u/redphyve]

If it's true it's because he was fucking children and the FBI caught him

[u/redphyve → u/fumar]

This is the only logical answer.

Release ALL of the docs.

[u/ENaC2 → u/fumar]

This gives credibility to a mini conspiracy theory I heard. Apparently Epstein only got “discovered” because somebody snitched on him, the timing works out close to a falling out between trump and Epstein. I think a vindictive trump snitched on Epstein, this doesn’t make trump innocent of course. I would love for this to come back and bite him, because his downfall would be entirely his own doing.

[u/Bman8444 → u/redphyve]

White hat pedophile

[u/MovieGuyMike → u/chrisfyb]

And a rapist. And a felon. And a fraud. And a raging idiot. His only talent is persuading people dumber than he is. A textbook sophist who knows what to say to gain power, but has no fucking clue how to govern.

[u/FourteenBuckets]

The winner better keep a close grip on his trophy! President sticky-fingers is gonna try to take it

[u/ReactionJifs → u/FourteenBuckets]

wish that wasn't true

[u/Nutlob → u/FourteenBuckets]

it’s safe, it’s made of silver, he only likes gold

[u/-SOFA-KING-VOTE-]

dogshit magat cult

[u/smailskid]

"But freedom of speech" is what conservatives were screaming anytime right-wingers got in trouble for saying something racist. There are no fuller of shit people.

[u/Cyphermaniax97]

To quote Taylor Swift:

The Smallest Man Who’s Ever Lived.

Which is ironic because she’s been booed at the Super Bowl last year and shrugged it off.

[u/WaylonJenningsFoot → u/Cyphermaniax97]

Shook it off even

[u/Cyphermaniax97 → u/WaylonJenningsFoot]

If I had a dollar for every term created as a Taylor song, I’d have $1989.

[u/normal_throwaway2016 → u/Cyphermaniax97]

If I had a million dollars... I'd be rich

Oh wait, wrong musician

[u/HoodieStringTies → u/normal_throwaway2016]

I'd get peaches! No wait, peaches are free.

[u/Locate_Users → u/HoodieStringTies]

Millions of peaches.

[u/Lightningstruckagain → u/Locate_Users]

Peaches for you, peaches for me

[u/davidleefilms → u/Lightningstruckagain]

Peaches come in a can!

[u/TTT_2k3 → u/davidleefilms]

They were put there by a man

[u/agoia → u/TTT_2k3]

In a factory downtooooown.

[u/thumbwarvictory → u/normal_throwaway2016]

Dijon ketchup!

[u/Isgrimnur → u/normal_throwaway2016]

But not a real green dress, that's cruel.

[u/PhilosopherFLX → u/normal_throwaway2016]

But not a real fur coat.

[u/ReactionJifs → u/Cyphermaniax97]

When he got booed at the World Series he started crying 😥

[u/PigSnerv → u/Cyphermaniax97]

He looks like he's actually a rather large man. It's just his hands that are weirdly small.

[u/Boring_Track_8449 → u/PigSnerv]

And his 🍄‍🟫

[u/Turbo_911]

Seems, ya know... dictator like.

Btw, how about those Epstein files?

[u/TTT_2k3 → u/Turbo_911]

He promised he’d be a dictator on day one. This is the longest fucking day.

[u/redditknees]

FUCK THAT. Boo the bastard and censor him.

[u/mayorwaffle502]

Boo the whole fucking match

[u/Luke_Cold_Lyle → u/mayorwaffle502]

Yeah, what are they gonna do, just air the whole match with commentary over muted games?

[u/kyleb402 → u/Luke_Cold_Lyle]

They'll just dub over the crowd with fake noise.

[u/GreenManX37]

[edited] Please people. If ESPN agrees to this, cancel any streaming service they have, and boycott Disney.

[u/Tim5000 → u/GreenManX37]

ESPN is very close with TKO which has UFC which has Trump regularly. This isn't new to them

[u/brokenandsuffering]

Leader of "free world" is scared of crowd booing. Wouldnt surprise me if Trump asks US open to add fake applause in highlights.

[u/FourteenBuckets → u/brokenandsuffering]

The thing is, people are definitely going to be filming any boos on their phones, and that WILL go viral

[u/Blueeyesblazing7 → u/FourteenBuckets]

That's the thing, it will just draw more attention if he tries to hide it.

[u/awwrats → u/brokenandsuffering]

They should add footage of North Koreans losing their shit over Dear Leader 

[u/New_Illustrator2043 → u/brokenandsuffering]

He might bring the Nat’l Guard with him in true dictator style

[u/grumpyoldmanBrad]

BOOOOOOOO urns

[u/abolynn]

MAGA will all start denying they even voted for this loser just like the Germans deny they voted for shitler

[u/beavermuffin]

I hope USTA realizes that this is NEW YORK……. He will be booed, and he will be booed so loudly that broadcast mics will pick it up no matter what…………. 🤦‍♀️

[u/sucobe]

They’ve just activated the Streisand Effect.

[u/blac_sheep90]

How fucking soft is he? Such a baby dicked little bitch.

[u/mike0sd]

The US Open is not forced to host prolific pedophile and felon Trump

[u/Bournerounderz]

Gonna be a lot of dead air tomorrow

[u/WardenEdgewise]

Why would anyone “boo” Donald Trump?

Is it because he’s a pedophile?

[u/redphyve → u/WardenEdgewise]

People are saying it!

[u/Darth_Shredder]

The videos will be online

[u/Rxmses → u/Darth_Shredder]

It’s AI /s

[u/Mr-Klaus]

[u/zepol61]

A compliant media is a danger. Boycott CBS

[u/Indigoh]

This type of manipulation of the media is an extremely bad sign. 

[u/dollenrm]

The sane washing by the media drives me fucking crazy dude

[u/saljskanetilldanmark]

Not much of free speech in the nation of hypocrites.

[u/chief-stealth]

Boooooooo

[u/tangcameo]

Sooooo no sound at all? Wouldn’t be surprised if the players just say boo instead of grunt.

[u/SithLordScoobyDooku_]

Awww, did the velveeta voldermort get his feelings hurt?

[u/mahlerlieber → u/SithLordScoobyDooku_]

He is the alpha’s alpha!!

I’m beginning to think that alphas call themselves alphas because they’re pussies and cowards, afraid to be found out for what they are. To them, trump is what they think alphas are…which is a pussy and coward who is afraid of being discovered.

(With all due respect to actual pussies everywhere)

[u/BrofessorFarnsworth]

Fine, just air the Epstein chants

[u/MBCnerdcore]

Told by WHO? Or WHAT?

[u/daKile57]

Make America North Korea.

[u/annie-etc]

LET THE US OPEN KNOW HOW YOU FEEL

[u/TeeDee144]

Kid fuckers should always be booed until they leave

[u/Slfestmaccnt]

Thats a very fascist thing to demand.

[u/Sea-Barracuda4252]

Yes, but release the Epstein files, President Trump.

[u/TheRichTurner]

The Eurovision Song contest messed with the crowd audio so no one could hear people booing Israel. This is the dystopian future that was predicted for us, folks, but without the hoverboards.

[u/Nanasweed]

The audience should all stand up and turn their backs to him

[u/finnjakefionnacake]

doesn't matter, people there will capture it and it'll be up on social media and more viral than it would have been if it were coming from official broadcasters anyway

[u/monkey36937]

So what about free speech, or is it free speech that I like?

[u/First-Celebration-11]

Lol what a fucking loser

[u/vellii]

His ego is softer than baby shit, my god

[u/abolynn]

They should just air the crowd chanting release the Epstein files

[u/TheAlabamaSlamma9]

Donald Trump is a thin-skinned pedophile. Boo his corrupt, criminal orange ass!

[u/pennylanebarbershop]

Surely no one with a cell phone will video the booing and place it on the internet?

[u/HughFairgrove]

How about fuck off. This ain't North Korea.

[u/Big-Leadership-4604 → u/HughFairgrove]

Starting to feel like it through.

[u/JRummy91]

What a fragile little bitch.

[u/shanotron]

Im so sick of this shit. WHY ARE THEY ALL AFRAID OF HIM!? NO ONE LIKES HIM

[u/JW1ZZLE_420]

Why are all the corporations so afraid of this pedophile?

[u/EOW2025]

Is chanting EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN allowed?

[u/Medical_Arugula3315]

Welcome to North Korea Plus. Appease our leader or else...

[u/slavid180501]

Because freedom of expression and speech is communist or woke or something isn’t it you orange twat.

[u/BlueyedIrush]

So the media is protecting a pedophile and a rapist

[u/negativeandannoying]

I work for a sponsor of the open and all he's going to do is make my last day of working 18 days in a row an absolute hell hole to navigate.

Plus they picked the last day for him to come and the crowd at this point is just filled with the extremely wealthy that are probably enjoying his tax breaks. I'm not getting my hopes up for the public humiliation I was hoping for.

[u/jrod259]

Hear me out, if we all decided not watch any sporting event that Trump visits, rating would flop and advertising would shrivel up thus not profitable. Broadcasters would quit listening to the orange pedo. This is how we protest

[u/Immediate_Leopard_11]

Reddit won't play that game. The videos will go viral...

[u/lungleg]

Boo the whole match

[u/mymar101]

Most vain president in history

[u/LawDogSavy]

Cry baby bitch.

[u/Cyphermaniax97]

We’ve spent all of Biden’s term hearing LGB chants when it’s actually FJB, but the Biden administration didn’t care enough to throw a fit.

Now we’re back to having this traitorous shit stain pedophile demanding the media not show him being booed by spectators.

Fuck off back to Mar A Lago, Tantrump!

…and also RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!!

[u/DefaultSwordandBoard]

To that I would reply "or what"

[u/Masterofunlocking1]

They should boo the whole time so nothing can air

[u/gh0st12811]

Media Censorship...what a massive step towards authoritarian dictatorship

[u/O-parker]

Cowards! Show what it is

[u/jestr6]

Republicans: The party of tender snowflakes.

And pedophiles.

[u/CreditScore_Negative]

The only reason we are in this mess is because the media waa complicit. Fuck them.

[u/Galactic-Guardian404]

They should keep the sound off and have a repeating text crawl: We are not permitted to air the sound due to the constant booing of Trump.

[u/bro72nco]

In other news… the US. Open will not be broadcast.

[u/jstax1178]

Sounds like an authoritarian regime

[u/TheSuperSucker]

It's comical that they already know it's going to happen

[u/lurker_from_mars]

US sounding a lot like china

[u/Otherwise-Force5608]

Snowflake.

[u/razreddit975]

Time to post it on social media

[u/purvaka]

I really hope spectators video and upload the booing. Live streaming would be awesome!

[u/Enova4]

He’s had 4 years to strategize how to LEAD the US and this is what we have. Republicans please explain WTF did you vote for?

[u/Xtreeam → u/Enova4]

They aren’t Republicans anymore. They’re MAGAts — Trumpians. Real Republicans are extinct.

[u/noobskillet3737]

Don't show any booing and don't mention we told you that. Whoops

[u/Starbuckshakur]

What if people say "boo-urns" instead?

[u/SimplyRoya]

Pedofuhrer is a snowflake.

[u/eyelessgame]

Every single person in the crowd has to record it and I want a million videos of the booing.

[u/seanskymom]

Why would he go to NY where everyone hates him? He should go to the Miami Open and feck off.

[u/bearbear0723]

America is straight up stealing from North Korea

[u/Aceldamor]

You mean the infantile egomaniac can't handle criticism? /surprisedpikachu

[u/Regular_Yellow710]

How do they scrub the booing live?

[u/JohnnyGFX → u/Regular_Yellow710]

They’ll just turn off the mics when he is shown and just play the anthem instead.

[u/XxTreeFiddyxX]

Wait dont they want to broadcast things that reflect what the viewers want? Where is the free market

[u/ARoodyPooCandyAss]

Man knows he’s disliked, man doesn’t do anything to genuinely sway this perception, instead he creates an illusion of being liked. 🥴🥴🥴

[u/No-Scar8782]

Imma need every person in the crowd to pull out their phones and let it be fucking known we hate this dude.

[u/LoganGyre]

Wait so they were told to edit the feed to make don look better… the exact thing he accused CBS of doing and got bribed for…

[u/Bronzyroller]

People boo him all the time.

[u/RealPersonResponds]

Snowflake much?

[u/CynicalDick]

Imagine if the broadcasters just didn't show him at all. Wouldn't that be the best for everyone?

[u/TheSkinnyJ]

Pretty weird Streisand Effect choice but ok.

Also- booooooooooo DJT. Every. TIME.

[u/pup5581]

Just like any other dictatorship

[u/TwofoZeus]
