Players and teams that protested the National Anthem in week 6:
Dolphins vs. Falcons
Kenny Stills, Mike Thomas and Julius Thomas stayed in the locker room for the anthem but came out to rejoin their team after it was over. All members of the Falcons stood for the anthem but 10 did not interlock arms.
Packers vs. Vikings
All members of the Packers and Vikings stood during the national anthem. The Packers linked arms as a team once again.
Lions vs. Saints
All members of the Lions and Saint stood for the national anthem. The Lions linked arms for the anthem for the second consecutive week.
Patriots vs. Jets
All Patriots and Jets players stood during the national anthem. Jets players linked arms. The Patriots players put one hand on their teammates' back and another one on their heart.
49ers vs. Redskins
Six 49ers players including Marquise Goodwin, Eli Harold, Arik Armstead, Joe Williams, Eric Reid and Donte Johnson took a knee for the national anthem. The Redskins all stood for the anthem.
Bears vs. Ravens
All members of the Ravens and Bears stood for the national anthem. There was no moment of prayer at M&T Bank Stadium like there was two weeks ago. Fans booed the players during the prayer.
This post will be updated as Sunday's games continue.

Sad part is that this disrespect towards our flag and anthem has, hopefully only slightly, spread to high schools and other activities. I heard some dozen members of the band at Ames High School in Ames, Iowa didn’t just take a knee but walked out at the playing of the anthem and a number of other members simply refused to play their instruments. The school administration praised these anti-American students. Sickening.
Not watching the games, but noticing the comeuppance that has hit a couple of players so far.
This hangs below each TV in our VFW.
Definitely. :D
Awwww.... Karma bit another one.
No.
:D
Until every player on every team stops all the kneeling, arm locking, gesturing and hiding in the tunnels, they are still protesting, or demonstrating, or doing something that does not belong before a paying crowd in the stadiums or the TV audience of millions.
Awww, linking arms sounds so warm and fuzzy.
Not. It prevents them from putting their hands over their hearts. Linking arms is nothing but further protest.
Week 6 already? Who knew. Thought it was only about week 3. Oh, well, life goes on without the NFL.
I see we have yet another outbreak of NFS Negro Fatigue Syndrome. NFS strikes when its carriers commit acts that are designed to anger and/or insult White Americans. Mild cases occur when only small acts of kaepernicking occur; but more serve cases develop when the carriers make childish attempts to “hide” their contempt for America like locking arms or staying in the locker room during the National Anthem. While NFS strikes mostly White Americans,any actually patriotic American of any race can be struck by this annoying disorder.
When they want to shame White people into giving them money NFS carriers tell us “A mind is a terrible thing to waste” But they forget, “You have to have one before it is at risk.”
This is the second year we aren’t watching. Elway can pound sand. Like McCain, he’s squandered his good will.
Sounds good to me. I don’t want to watch 2 million a year, USA hating Marxists. 0bama’s sons.
It’s time to reinstate the military draft, and send each one of these kneelers a notice to report.
NFL employees make Harvey Weinstein look like a boy scout
At one time could not wait for the NFL season. Now that we do not watch my wife and I have started to spend time working jig saw puzzles. It is fun and there are many choices of pictures and events.
SI (did not go there directly, it was on Google News Feed) said all of the Steelers stood and two Chiefs didnt.
Is it wrong that I’m enjoying Aaron Rodgers karma?
Heck no. He deserves every moment of the pain. I really wish that President Trump would Tweet.......Aaron Rodgers.....karma. And that is all that is needed. It would literally make my day.
Any political gesture (other than standing respectfully and either saluting or placing the right hand over your heart) connected to the national anthem is unacceptable. End of discussion. End of the NFL.
Trump doesn't need to do anything to jeopardize Wisconsin in 2020, so I would advise against that tweet.
