That came after the United States Tennis Association sent a memo to media partners requesting that they censor “disruptions or reactions” in response to Trump. “We ask all broadcasters to refrain from showcasing any disruptions or reactions in response to the President’s attendance in any capacity,” the USTA said in the memo.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

It's funny to read yesterday's headline, aka this quote, and then read today's headline. Everyone is going to boo him tomorrow, please don't talk about it. He was in fact boo'ed, let's talk about it.
I guess funny is the wrong word. Insanity?
boo'ed
It's just "booed". Really-really.
That's good to know. It just looked so weird. I knew what I wrote was also weird, but it felt less weird.
Basically apostrophes are never used to separate a word from a normal suffix in this kind of novel or unusual construction. Pretty much just use apostrophes for contractions and (most) possessives. Example: 90s, not 90's.

Edit: In English, for English words. Some languages, either those normally rendered in Latin script* or transliterated into it**, make use of apostrophes either to modify an adjacent phoneme or to indicate particular sounds or a glottal stop.
* English-like letters and punctuation
** Like Japanese written as if it were English, for example "Ohayo gozaimasu" which is written in hiragana as おはようございま.

Edit2: Others point out (correctly) that referencing the 1990s as a decade would be properly written as '90s, which is still a use of an apostrophe for a contraction.
And, actually, I believe it’s ‘90s! So there is one, it’s right in front.
'90s is a contraction of 1990s, or whatever other century's tenth decade is implied. So the apostrophe belongs as an example of a contraction or possessive :)

This is what happens when you involve yourself in someone's war against reality and rational thinking
Cowards.
Nice to see the US Tennis Association bending over preemptively.
Those responsible for the booing will be found and deported to El Salvador.
Thank you for your attention to this matter!
Smithers...have the Rolling Stones killed.
Hope they boo louder next time.
Hope the next guy doesn't miss. Boos don't accomplish shit.
Every act of resistance, no matter how small, advances our cause and diminishes their control.
carry sand in your pockets
POCKET SAND!!!
Ohhh Jack Black is going to cancel your tour

Did anyone actually watch the clip? Am I going crazy? It's like 20% boos and 80% applause. Very misleading title IMO.
That sounds like the old Mitch Hedberg joke:
I used to do drugs. I still do, but I used to, too.
Maybe rephrase the headline as "Golf crowd boos Trump. They kissed his ass and gave him thundering applause most of the time, but they booed him, too."
You're not crazy we just comment on headlines here, it's easier this way
Speak for yourself. Some of us have the patience and the sheer willpower to wait for the comments to load so that they can tell us what the article says.
/s but also really happens, lol
Booing is pretty tame and lame, honestly.
Tame but effective, imagine if everywhere you went and everything you did there was a crowd booing you.
I'd much rather it be a giant crowding shouting "child rapist" while throwing anything they could get their hands on at him.
while more impactful, that takes more prep time and work. there is a magic to booing. it is uncontrollable, unstoppable, and requires no thought. it gives everyone a free space in which to enter into a grand vocalization of "we stand for what you do not." there is no real way to boo performatively. there is too little room for interpretation within the reverberations of the crowd.
if you do not like booing the 47th president of the united states, i recommend digging into what the problem with the act is, and consider that there's many routes to resistance. for me, i don't like booing the president because the president is meant to be a spectacle. it doesn't matter if you love or hate him. it matters that you feel strongly. the argument i can hear is that you want to increase another kind of spectacle to give the people something to engage in. me, i want to remove him from all spectacle he engages in from my life and focus on community engagement. there is likely valor to both.
but please. consider that better than throwing things at him, giving him the spectacle he thrives in, might be when he appears at an event you are at, that means you don't care about the org that let him in in the first place anymore. get up out of your seat, and make your way to the exit, never to return again.

Can't be as bad as MAGA actively destroying everything I've ever held dear about this country
And now imagine you have narcissistic personality disorder and it hits so much harder
Imagine if you're the dictator of the wealthiest and most powerful nation in human history.
A few boos from folks in the cheap seats seems like a small price to pay when you can feast on the townsfolk every night with abandon.
Yet basically all dictators have been harsh on even the lightest of protests, since if you allow it, the protests will grow until you can't deal with it.
Public protests like these are highly useful to fight against Mr. Trump.

It’s tame but not lame. Every little bit helps. If it bruised his ego even a little bit, it’s a win.
Every time his ego gets bruised, one child got unfucked. It's a weird justice system, but america is trying it's best
You have heard that Donnie has the most fragile ego possible, right? Mass dissent he can directly witness is far more effective than you think.
