GARDEN CITY, NY – The Adelphi University men's lacrosse team is making waves this week, but not for its record. A video surfaced online Wednesday morning showing the team entering the field to a snippet of a speech by President Donald Trump. In the few hours it has been live, it has been viewed more than 636,000 times and received more than 5,500 comments.
The short video, posted online by the Boston sports blog Barstool Sports, shows the Adelphi team entering the field while the booming voice of the president fills the field.
"In all of our cities and all of our towns, I make this promise," the president says. "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."

"The men’s lacrosse team’s regular season pre-game 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 to Newsday. "The songs they proposed and used this season meet those guidelines. As such, we are obliged to follow the policy."
