      Ok some are making it a bigger deal than it is. He was swearing in people to the military which that wording “I ( state your name)” but instead of you saying state your name, you say your name while the person continues to read the script.

      I did it when I swore in 2010.

      I felt bad for the people swearing in, but then realize they were swearing in during this presidency.

      I hope they feel that embarrassment throughout their career for serving while this guy is in.

        Got it. That does make more sense. It’s also a super weird thing to do on all sides at an NFL game.

          That was 100% political. It usually is a private event the first time. When you re-up you can chose how you want to swear in.

            I’ve seen it happen at multiple NFL games. Sometimes they do military swearing in, or people becoming citizens.

            It’s some stupid nationalist mind game

          Actually, I think he was swearing in soldiers and they were repeating after him. We just didn’t see the soldiers. I only realized that after seeing his interview section of the game.
