Vice President JD Vance Got Brutally Snubbed By The Cincinnati Bengals Players During Surprise Visit [VIDEO]
This article was originally published on Total Pro Sports.
Vice President JD Vance made a surprise visit to the Cincinnati Bengals’ practice facility on Wednesday. It certainly did not go as expected.
He was already in town following a campaign rally in nearby Sharonville, Ohio. It turns out that Vance is a lifelong Bengals fan, so he got his chance to tour the locker room and greet players, though quarterback Joe Burrow noted they did not interact.
He certainly wasn’t lying about that fact, because there is video evidence.
JD Vance’s Bengals Visit Turned Awkward in the Hallway
Vice President JD Vance rolled into Kettering Health practice fields with a hefty police presence in the surrounding area. The Middletown native wanted to see his favorite NFL team. However, the same could not be said about the players.
One 18-second video from an office window showed Vance watching Bengals players as they headed into the locker room. One by one, all the players merely walked past him without acknowledging him, except for one player who shook his hand.
It was painfully obvious that they did not care to meet him.
“Looks like he got ignored by 95% of the roster lol,” one fan said.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow was asked after practice about Vice President JD Vance’s visit.
“We did not (get to interact),” Burrow said. “He came with everybody and left with swiftness and efficiency before the end of practice, so I didn’t get to (talk with him).”
“A lot of people around,” Burrow continued.
“That’s what I love about what I do is it brings a lot of people together. And people want to take time out of their day to come and watch what we do, and watch what I do, and watch all the work that I put in to come and watch greatness. Everybody in the locker room, that’s why we do what we do.”
The 3-2 Bengals will play the 4-2 Ravens in Baltimore on Sunday.
