First Lady Jill Biden brutally booed at during Eagles game while promoting White House cancer initiative
PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA: First lady Jill Biden stepped on to the Lincoln Financial Field as an honorary captain for the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, October 16 as they took on their NFL east rival Dallas Cowboys in Week 6.
Surprisingly, instead of a round of applauses, the wife of President Joe Biden was booed at and heckled by Eagle Fans as she stood beside cancer survivors to promote the White House’s Cancer Moonshot initiative. Jill was present for the coin toss and was also seen conversing with Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid.

“FLOTUS Jill Biden at midfield for coin flip. She gets booed. #Eagles win toss. Defer. Dallas starts with ball,” wrote another user while a third user said “If Melania Trump had been booed at a NFL game, she would be trending on Twitter. There would be video plasted on every social media platform in the nation. So where's the video of First Lady Jill Biden being booed at tonight's Eagles game?”

Some users are speculating that the social media giants are trying to shadow ban or remove the video of the embarrassing incident from social media. “Total censorship going on with twitter right now. All videos of Jill Biden getting booed in Philadelphia are dropping faster than Hickok 45 targets,” a user wrote.

The event was meant to promote the Biden Administration’s Cancer Moonshot initiative which this time joined hands with the NFL’s cancer awareness campaign known as Crucial Catch, in partnership with the American Cancer Society.
It’s a special night for this Philly girl — I get to cheer on my @Eagles alongside these brave cancer survivors and their families.

Thank you @NFL for raising awareness through Crucial Catch. We all have a role to play in ending cancer as we know it. #CancerMoonshot pic.twitter.com/VfCdbrl2ce

However, the fact that Jill and Joe Biden are both huge Eagle fans is known to all. Previously, the US president attended the Philadelphia vs New England Patriots game at the US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis where the eagles clinched their first title in a classic game against the Tom Brady-led team.
This was definitely not the first time a celebrity has been booed at at an NFL game. Earlier, Kim Kardashian was brutally booed at by fans at SoFi Stadium during a Los Angeles Rams and Dallas Cowboys game. The booing comes after her ex-husband Kanye West posted many posts on his social media and consequently had his accounts restricted.
