Donald Trump figuratively kicked off the 2017 College Football Playoff National Championship between the Alabama Crimson Tide and the Georgia Bulldogs. Trump was in attendance, and while he was not expected to stop in the broadcast booth during the game or anything, he did take the field as the national anthem played in the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.
Whether it was because of his appearance on the field for the anthem or because of his general cameo at the game, Crimson Tide running back Bo Scarbrough wasn’t happy that the President of the United States was in attendance. So Scarbrough said two words as Alabama took the field that did not leave any room for interpretation regarding his thoughts on Donald Trump.
A camera caught Scarbrough screaming “f*ck Trump,” offering a brief but passionate rebuttal of the president. Here’s a video of the incident, which obviously features some NSFW language.

Trump’s appearance at the game wasn’t especially well received on the internet. While he did receive some cheers from the crowd at the game (well, at least by the people who weren’t outside waiting to listen to Kendrick Lamar), at least one person in the stadium wasn’t happy that the president was in attendance.
