The men’s lacrosse team at Adelphi University is causing a stir on social media after they used a speech by President Trump as their entrance music.

An Instagram video posted by Barstool Sports showing the team running onto the field following a portion of Mr. Trump’s 2016 Republican National Convention speech has been viewed more than 920,000 times since Wednesday morning.

“In all of our cities and in all of our towns, I make this promise,” Mr. Trump says in the clip as music plays in the background. “We will make America strong again. We will make America proud again. We will make America safe again. And we will make America great again.”

At that, the lacrosse players are seen running onto the field — with one waving an American flag.

“God bless you and good night. I love you!” the president says in the clip.

It’s not clear which game the video is from.

Officials at the private New York university said the entrance music does not violate school policy.

“The men’s lacrosse team’s regular-season pregame warm-up music is selected as a team and approved for use so long as they do not contain vulgarity or inappropriate subject matter,” Adelphi athletic director Danny McCabe said in a statement, Newsday reported Wednesday. “The songs they proposed and used this season meet those guidelines. As such, we are obliged to follow the policy.”

Men’s lacrosse coach Gordon Purdie said the team “traditionally has chosen patriotic music” for their entrance, Newsday reported.

“It was not intended to provoke or be taken as a political statement,” he said. “We’re sorry if anyone was offended.”

Newsday reported that at least two Adelphi lacrosse players shared the Barstool Sports video.

The Adelphi Panthers, which are are 14-3, begin the NCAA Division II playoffs against Pace University this Saturday.
