2020 NFL Season - Page 5 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

Were the Chiefs fan booing the moment of unity or were they booing the fact that the Texans didn't come out of the locker room for the anthem?

Not sure who would boo a moment of unity, but that would be the fans first chance to show their displeasure for the Texans not coming out of the locker room.

Anyone at the game who has insight on this?

It would be like if they booed Nelson Mandela when he was freed from prison because of his tie selection.

I didn’t see that part but I’ve read posts on social media that said they were more so booing the Texans when they came out after the Anthem and it kept going

A few were booing the moment of unity. Most of the booing was for the Texans being in the tunnel during the national anthem.

That's fair Suzzer. The texans seem to always have so many standout defensive players yet they seem to get thrashed by good offensive teams. I'm just going to blame Bob

Wait, so Suzzer spoke to every boo boy?

Honestly, idgaf either way. I agree with the cause but all the player protest stuff is meaningless self absorbed virtue signalling of the worst kind.

It's amazing how the people who did boo the moment of unity effortlessy switched from it being about the flag or troops or whatever - into "stop polluting my sports with politics".

Narrator: it was never about the troops.

I hope this idiot gets banned.

That's funny because the anthem is all about unity, but if people booed that they'd get dumped on their head. Its basically, "dont shove your beliefs onto mine if they arent the same". I can handle people who disagree, but cant stand hypocrites.

It wouldn't be a protest if everyone, if not most people agreed with it. Athletes would also be foolish not to use their massive platforms to bring any issue they want to bring to the forefront. Funny how these idiots who boo these players are being super hypocritical since they post their own politics on platforms like Facebook, but they don't have an audience because they are worthless trash.

Good grief. I'm going to have to get NFL Ticket I guess. My options for the early game today, in the Dallas market, are Eggles/Football Team or Miami/Pats. Jesus ****. And only one afternoon game.

I wish they’d go back to the two-morning, two-afternoon (Pacific time) games network schedule that they had for years.

Related to mark's post. It used to be that games were blacked out in local TV markets if the game didn't sell out.

Not sure if that's still true, but if so, are they redefining sold out to "sold to allowed capacity", so locals can still see the games?
