CLAIM: A video shows the crowd at this year\u2019s Army-Navy football game<\/a><\/span> chanting \u201cF— Joe Biden.\u201d
AP\u2019S ASSESSMENT: False. The video has been edited to add the chant, which occurred at a concert<\/a><\/span> in 2021. Unedited footage<\/a><\/span> of the game shows the crowd, including a large contingent of Army cadets, singing and bouncing to an EDM song often<\/a><\/span> played<\/a><\/span> at Army football games and other sporting<\/a><\/span> events<\/a><\/span>.
THE FACTS: The altered video began spreading on social media following Saturday\u2019s annual Army-Navy game<\/a><\/span>.
In the clip, Army cadets and others in the spirited crowd jump in unison while appearing to chant the disparaging phrase about U.S. President Joe Biden at Gillette Stadium, home of the New England Patriots.
\u201cEntire Crowd at Army VS Navy Game Chants \u2018F*ck Joe Biden,\u2019\u201d reads one tweet that shared the edited footage. It had received approximately 37,000 likes and 11,000 shares as of Monday.<\/p>\n

But the footage was edited to add the chant.
An unedited video<\/a><\/span> of the same scene shows the cadets and other fans singing along to \u201cTsunami,\u201d<\/a><\/span> an EDM song released in 2013 by Canadian electronic music duo DVBBS and Borgeous, an American DJ. The track is often<\/a><\/span> played<\/a><\/span> at Army football games, as well as other athletic<\/a><\/span> events<\/a><\/span>.
\u201cIt\u2019s inaccurate, it is false \u2014 it is blatantly false,\u201d Army spokesperson Cynthia Smith told The Associated Press in reference to the erroneous claims.
Similar anti-Biden chants have been added to other footage of Biden, including his appearance at the University of Pennsylvania\u2019s commencement<\/a><\/span> in May and multiple<\/a><\/span> videos of his speeches<\/a><\/span>. The audio added to the video currently spreading online is from a 2021 concert<\/a><\/span> in Scranton, Pennsylvania, featuring the rock band Staind.
The Army Black Knights of the U.S. Military Academy won this year\u2019s matchup<\/a><\/span> in Foxborough, Massachusetts, beating the Midshipmen of the U.S. Navy Academy 17-11<\/a><\/span>.
