On the occasion of its sixth week in the NFL, the Philadelphia Eagles took on their NFC counterparts, the East Dallas Cowboys, last Sunday. in a game marked by controversy and not quite sporting. US First Lady Jill Biden showed up at Lincoln Financial Field and received whistles and insults at her husband, President Joe Biden, from part of the stadium.
Jill was seen surrounded by several Eagles and Cowboys players and was booed as she entered the court waving. In addition to the whistles, insults to the absent president could be heard in the background. “To hell with Joe Biden,” they chanted.
The First Lady was in charge of the lottery coin toss and was seen talking to Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid. Biden was at an event marking the White House’s Cancer Moonshot initiative.. She was joined by patients and survivors of the disease, as well as their families.
“This is a special night for this Philadelphia girl: I will be rooting for my Eagles along with these brave cancer survivors and their families. Thanks to the NFL for raising awareness through Crucial Catch. We all have a role to play in fighting cancer as we know it. #CancerMoonshot,” he wrote on his Twitter account.
It must be remembered that both the head of state and his wife are Eagles fans. Joe Biden was present at US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis during Super Bowl LII in 2018 when the Philadelphia team won the championship against the New England Patriots.
Possible cause of the quarrel
The United States is experiencing serious difficulties in terms of immigration and the economy. The president’s popularity among the population is 39% according to an ABC and The Washington Post poll.
Despite the political impasse mixed with the sports field, Philadelphia defeated Dallas 26–17 and remains on an unbeaten streak in the NFL. The Eagles saw their victory in jeopardy as they went from a 20-0 lead to a 20-17 lead.
