'Cowards': Internet pounces after broadcasters warned to censor booing of Trump at US Open

" Trump is about to face the loudest boos of his life," according to one conservative group responding to the latest censorship news involving the president.
Onlookers were stunned this weekend as they discovered that the US Open had warned its broadcasters to censor any potential boos of Donald Trump's appearance.
Organizers of the tennis event reportedly emailed broadcasters with a message saying in part, "We ask all broadcasters to refrain from showing any disruptions or reactions in response to the president's attendance in any capacity."
Online, political analysts and observers ridiculed the president and the organizers themselves.
Conservatives over at Republicans against Trump noted that, "The US Open sent an email to broadcasters instructing them to censor any crowd reactions or protests during Trump's appearance," and added, "Trump is about to face the loudest boos of his life."
Wu Tang is for the Children, a popular liberal X account boasting hundreds of thousands of followers, said those at the United States Tennis Association "are cowards."'
Political analyst The Shallow State said, "As you may know, Trump plans to attend the US Open Men's Final. It's in NY. Tomorrow. I expect if he's announced to the crowd, he'll be booed."
"Apparently, under pressure from Trump's team, the US Open has sent an email to broadcasters, ordering them to censor any reactions or protests from the crowd to Trump. I kid you not," the account wrote late Saturday. "Here's hoping there's so much sustained booing, for so long, that it's impossible to censor, and play gets delayed."
A self-identified professional scientist using the screenname Mug of Glop also chimed in, saying, "lmao Trump is the absolute weakest b---- in history."
Ex-MSNBC host Keith Olbermann said, "Tennis Association demands broadcasters CENSOR reactions to Trump at U.S. Open."
"There's a reason tennis has sunk to triviality in this country in the last 40 years," he added. "It's terrified, condescending management like this."
Booing at a US Open event?
Rocking the ugly American.
Classless.
But lefties would have been outraged if it was Biden or Kamala getting booed.
The Dems are such whiny hypocrites
Oh yeah. Probably the same dimwits screaming Baba Booey at other golf tournaments
Probably cousins of the dimwits who screamed "Let's go Brandon".
Fell out of a different stupid tree but hit just as many branches on the way down.
That's the kind of thing I'd expect from Putin or Kim Jong Un, but seeing how Trump is so infatuated with authoritarian leaders and desperately wants to join the club then this shouldn't be a surprise to anyone.
I suppose the White House could order the television channels to show him being met with overwhelming cheers, and through AI they could get it done. Are the networks that afraid so as to comply? We are going in that direction.
If the networks comply, Walter Cronkite and Edward R. Murrow will turn over in their graves.
Think his wish has been granted. Declaring war on a US city has pushed him into the authoritarian club.
A crime ridden, progressive hell hole of a city was already a semi war zone. The Dems don't seem to care about its mostly Black victims
Given the choice of getting help from Trump or continuing the carnage the carnage wins.
Lol ….. more shameless exaggeration.
Ridiculous.
My advice would be to get a new source for your news. Your characterization of NYC is grossly exaggerated.
Yes, there are some nice areas of Chicago. And there are some terrible areas of Chicago that were not shown.
There are good and bad neighborhoods in every city. Tens of millions of people visit Chicago every year, many of them from the surrounding red states. Chicago is the unofficial capitol of the middle of this country. The idea that it is a "hell hole" is ridiculous.
That was terrifying to watch, those scofflaws even waited for the streetlight to turn green before crossing. Yikes ... the inhumanity!
Again you show a walking tour. How many walking tours of the dangerous parts of Chicago would you expect there to be?
I also notice the vast majority of the people in the video are white. That seems pretty racist since only a third of Chicago residents are white.
Why would so many liberals not accept help to keep its citizens safe? Are those liberals people that actually live in the more dangerous parts of Chicago that would actually benefit from the help or people in the better parts of Chicago and people that don't live in Chicago at all?
Almost looks like parts of Chicago are a hellhole.
The problem with what Trump is doing is that Chicago is not the most dangerous city in America. Why doesnt he start with the most dangerous ones, like those in red states?
St Louis is much more of a hell hole than Chicago is, and even St Louis is not a hell hole.
Trump is an embarrassment to our country.
So it is not an issue of Trump helping it is a matter of who he helps first. I am sure the folks in the dangerous sections of Chicago that would benefit from the help agree. S/
It is not legal for him to send National Guard into any city in the country except DC. America has had a "crime problem" since about the turn of the 20th century, 125 years ago, because that is when large cities began to form. No other president felt the need to send troops into cities, because no other president wanted to be an authoritarian "ruler".
It will be interesting to see how the reactionaries defend this. Probably: "He was just joking" or "What about Biden..." or the classic "TDS is strong in some. Sad"...
So much for the he should do it someplace else argument.
Personally I don't want Trump to help even if it is found he can. Let the people live with what they vote for. When they tire of it let them make changes at the voting booth.
Only in a MAGA's wet dream. Why hasn't Trump addressed the crime problems in the most crime ridden states and cities in the nation? Why only blue cities that already have dropping crime rates?
Nah but progressivism is.
A scourge to this great country.
Cool, we have plenty of National Guard in each state. Start at the top and work your way down. Glad my friends on the left have agreed that something needs to be done.
Let’s go!
Yawn ….. get a new shtick. This one is very old and threadbare.
That is fucking hilarious! Best joke of the day. Thanks, I needed a good laugh.
[✘]
Man, it just keeps getting funnier.[✘]
“Lol ….. more shameless exaggeration.
Ridiculous.”
yes, very much so, but, it gave me a helluva good laugh. Hopefully it did you too.
“Let the people live with what they vote for.”
I don’t think they have the brainpower to connect the two. They recall mayor beetlejuice and then vote in somebody just as bad.
Every single one of the cities you listed has a D for mayor
The top are red states. Trump has already shown that is not how he decides.
Every one of the states I listed has a "R" for a governor.
Prove that number one on your list, Memphis, all the way down to number 10, Milwaukee, ALL have Republicans for governor.
Yep, the worst crime is mostly in blue cities in red states and blue cities in blue states. Cities that have been Democrat controlled for decades in most cases.
Next …..
Never stopped
I don't have an hour to watch your video but I didn't see any rioters or burning
Then stop using the internet, a progressive invention.
lol …. Attributing the invention of the internet, to political progressivism, is one of the wackier things I’ve heard lately. Wow! Just wow.
Oh come on, they gotta be right on this one. After all, Al Gore told them so...
LOL!!!
Ok, so I'm watching this show called "The Americans". It's about a couple who are here illegally as KGB spies. A story arc in the series settled around ARPANET which I believe was developed by the US military and later became the internet. I will go research but does that sound right?
holy crap! I was right for a change:
According to CNN
"The memo seemed like a request rather than an order. In a statement to CNN, the association said, “We regularly ask our broadcasters to refrain from showcasing off-court disruptions.”"
Right. The point is supposed to be tennis, not politics. Nor is it hard to understand the US Open's request to refrain from showing negative reactions to Trump's attendance. They want to popularize tennis, not turn it into a political battleground that can only serve to harm the sport. In other words...
... the opposite from what this person wants. What sporting event organizer would want this? They wouldn't want it any more than people shouting "Let's go Brandon" at their events. They'd much rather promote their sport.
He was warmly welcomed by the crowd.

Um... are you sure you linked to the vid you intended?
I didn't link to a video, I linked to a news story that had a video I couldn't open..
However, if the story I posted doesn't make you happy, here are a couple others that make what happened pretty clear to me.
U.S. Open Crowd Booed Trump Repeatedly

Well, I didn't hear any booing in that video. So, you posted two more. The first one I could hear a couple people distinctly but the rest of the crowd noise was indeterminate. In the second, I couldn't hear any booing at all. Were you able to open the second two?
Doubtful that many liberal boo birds could afford US Open center court championship tickets. So this is much to do about nothing.
. This was demonstrated by the mixed reactions of cheers and boos that former President Trump received when attending the men's final in September 2025.
I stand corrected. I should have known better considering that it is New York.
LMFAO!!!!!
