The crowd of over 17,000 President Trump hating fans filled the stadium with boos at the part of the oath of allegiance that commands orders of the President of the United States be obeyed.

The oath of enlistment:

I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.” (Title 10, US Code; Act of 5 May 1960 replacing the wording first adopted in 1789, with amendment effective 5 October 1962).

The Oregonian reported the ceremony was scheduled for the anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks. The paper also reported on the controversy involving the banning of political displays at Portland professional soccer games.
