Dozens of NFL players for the Baltimore Ravens and Jacksonville Jaguars showed a unified front on Sunday and kneeled as the national anthem played during the start of their game in London, defying President Trump’s attacks on the league's athletes.

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin also announced on "NFL on CBS" his team will not participate in the national anthem before its game Sunday against the Chicago Bears.

Baltimore Ravens players, including former player Ray Lewis, second from right, kneel down during the playing of the U.S. national anthem before an NFL football game against the Jacksonville Jaguars at Wembley Stadium in London on Sunday.

This should hasten the permanent move of the Jags to London.

After today, there aren’t a lot of folks in Jacksonville that care about the team.

So much for the silly idiocy from Roger Goodell and those other NFL owners about "unity."

I see photos of a bunch of players in team uniforms, with some of them standing and some of them kneeling.

These aren't teams at all. They wouldn't even be considered a half-assed tribe by any objective measure.

Ungrateful millionaires. That’s how you show disrespect to me, then my only response is to withdraw my financial support through viewership.

The british are fine with it as they are subjects of the crown and supposed to take a knee as a sign of subservience for royalty. Them standing in defiance for the british anthem should be seen in a negative light.

How about when the kneel, someone comes on the loud speaker and says, we will now, before the National Anthem, pray for our country and the men and women in our military. Anyone who ca, please kneel.

Looking at the two pics I see 11 Ravens and 15 Jags kneeling. How many people are on a football team?

Idiots - they are just killing the golden goose. Used to watch a lot of games. NFL is dead to me now. Could not care less what they do or how they play.
