ABC reports Trump’s presence leads to communication issues, broadcast glitches ensue; Fans got jokes
Social media had a good laugh Saturday.
During the Tennessee vs. Texas game, ABC reported that the presence of President Donald Trump caused communication issues and broadcast glitches. Laura Rutledge explained that Trump's presence could lead to problems, and the broadcast's audio became an issue when Chris Fowler and Kirk Herbstreit started calling the game with static.
The network's audio issues persisted, especially for Herbstreit. Texas coach Steve Sarkisian had previously explained that when the President attends a game, all communication between coaches and players is cut off due to security measures in place. Social media users noticed the ABC audio feed confirming that POTUS went to the bathroom.
