During the last play, replacement officials incorrectly awarded Seattle with a touchdown, giving the Seahawks a victory with a final score of 14-12.
Obama, a huge sports buff, reminded the NFL via Twitter that fans “on both sides of the aisle” remain hopeful for an immediate resolution to the conflict:
