NFL players were booed before the season opener for calling for unity and social justice
-
The Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs are one of two NFL teams allowing a limited number of fans to attend games this season. And after the National Anthem played, when players from the Chiefs and Houston Texans linked arms for a moment of silence for racial equality, audible booing could be heard on the NBC broadcast. ALSO: Chloe x Halle performed the National Anthem far away in an empty Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum while honoring Breonna Taylor and George Floyd.
