FLOWERY BRANCH — Falcons coach Dan Quinn said the team will lock arms during the national anthem and will encourage the fans to do the same before they play the Bills on Sunday.
“For us, we will lock arms together during that time, and we would encourage our fans to do the same,” Quinn said Wednesday. “I think that would be kind of a nice tribute as we’re getting started. It’s an important time in our world. There are a lot of issues that are really important to talk about, and we’ll spend some time and we have as a team talking through some of those.”
Most of the Falcons, along with owner Arthur Blank, stood and locked arms during the singing of the national anthem before they played the Lions in Detroit on Sunday.
Defensive tackles Grady Jarrett and Dontari Poe knelt. Several other players stood alone off to the right at attention.

SJWs always lie.
SJWs always project.
and, as we’re seeing now...
SJWs always double down.
enough of this faggotry.
“Why?”
To show our unity for the BLM cause to destroy our respect for our country!
Stupidity: It’s been really on the march since Obama.
“and not to join in making stupid, meaningless gestures. “
It is not a stupid, meaningless gesture. It is a gesture that removes us from properly respecting our flag and culture.
Really...who do they think they are???
Do not fall for this ,,, they just want to use the fans to cover their anti-Americanism . Do not become a Social Justice Warrior at the game .
Kumbaya,, LOrrrd..KUMMBBaayyyaaaa...
apparently CTE can also be induced into fans..
by beating them over the head with “social justice”..
or so the theory goes..
What a sad joke the NFL has become.
The least these ingrates could do as they lock arms would be a can-can complete with high kicks and big smiles ... at least it would be entertaining. After which we could enjoy “honoring America with the singing of the national anthem”
Okay if we wear our MAGA hats?
I totally agree, TG!
Not going to work.
No. Way. Out.
Please vote! Thumbs up or thumbs down for Aaron Rodgers request for “unity”. Voting is at the bottom of the article.

Sounds like a test run to see how the fans react.
When they don’t things will change but just like apologizing AFTER getting caught , its too late.
They have shown their hand.
Right you are! Such a lame transparent ploy.
When will these idiots get it???? Just stand and put your hand over your heart and move on. ANYTHING else is disrespecting our flag.
