Even football fans in blue cities are fed up with President Joe Biden, as shown by their candid responses at the AFC championship game in Baltimore. In a lighthearted Fox News report, fans of the Baltimore Ravens were asked if they were proud of Biden, and the majority responded with a resounding “no.” The reasons varied, with one fan citing high gas prices and another mentioning the state of the economy. One clever fan even likened the southern border to the offensive line of the Kansas City Chiefs: wide open.
Commentary: Blue City NFL Fans Give Joe Biden Some Brutal Advice: ‘It Is Time to Hang Up Your Cleats’ https://t.co/AJsCRlHlzx

When asked for advice, the fans had some brutally honest suggestions for Biden. One woman recommended that he retire, urging him to “hang up your cleats.” Another fan advised the 81-year-old president to avoid using stairs. The comments were humorous, but they also revealed a deeper sentiment among the fans. One woman, who admitted that she wouldn’t typically vote for Trump, said that if it came down to Trump versus Biden, she would choose Trump.
It’s particularly interesting to note these comments in a deep-blue city like Baltimore. It seems that even in Democratic strongholds, people can see through Biden’s facade and express their dissatisfaction with his actions and policies. Even those who aren’t usually interested in politics are cracking jokes about “Sleepy Joe” and his vice president. The fans are well aware that the economy has worsened since Biden took office, despite the pandemic restrictions lifting.
Under Trump, gas prices never exceeded $3 per gallon on average. However, four months into Biden’s presidency, gas prices have never dropped below $3 per gallon. Additionally, GDP growth slowed under Biden’s policies, and reckless government spending has led to a significant increase in inflation. The average family must now spend over $11,000 more to buy the same goods and services as they did during the Trump administration. These figures are hard to ignore for the average football fan who cares about providing for their family.
In the end, the opinions of these football fans may speak volumes about the upcoming election. While they may not typically prioritize politics, their ability to see through the rhetoric and assess the impact of policies on their daily lives will influence their vote more than anything else. And if this sentiment continues among the average Americans, it may have significant implications for future elections.
