One of the great traditions of the NFL draft every year is watching Roger Goodell get booed into oblivion by fans. Unfortunately due to the health crisis in the country, we won’t be able to see large crowds crush Goodell like we did in the previous years.

This year the draft will be held virtually but thanks to Bud Light, the official beer sponsor of the NFL, fans will be able to send in their boos and Bud Light will send them to the draft. According to Bud Light, fans will be able to send them submissions by tagging them on Twitter and using #BootheCommish hashtag. Bud Light will then donate $1 per submission video to the NFL Draft-a-Thon for up to $500K.
The NFL Draft will be without an important tradition. And we just can't let that stand. Record your boos then post & tag @budlight and #BooTheCommish. We’ll deliver the boos to the Draft, and for each #BootheCommish thru April 25, we’ll donate $1 to NFL Draft-a-Thon up to $500K. pic.twitter.com/fnvcYDpZPW

Fans have already started submitting some pretty good booing videos.
