This article if accurate is helpful:

“On Tuesday, Packers players asked fans to join them in linking arms during the anthem to “come together and show people we can be connected, and we can grow together.” On CBS’ broadcast, they showed some fans who did and some who didn’t, although it looked like most didn’t.”

“come together and show people we can be connected, and we can grow together.”

Seems they’d like nothing better than to change the narrative and have a kumbaya moment.

That can’t happen. If it does, there WILL be a next time .. no stopping them then.

The video at your link seems sympathetic to the protest, but the crowd shots are interesting. Note: I have listed below every crowd shot in which I could distinguish whether fans were supporting America or #BlackThugsMatter.

0:30-0:34 Crowd, about 50 people, zero with arms linked, all standing with hats off, most with right hand over heart

0:53-0:54 Crowd, 5 people with arms linked in the front row, about 10 with hand over heart behind and next to the disrespectful traitors

1:04-1:08 Crowd, 6 people with hand over heart or salute

1:17-1:21 Crowd, 6 people with hand over heart

1:51-1:55 Crowd, 9 people with hand over heart

The announcer seems to be saying the show of “unity” was a success. I would agree. Only five disgusting thugs who actually linked arms made it on camera, while a large number of decent fans clearly showed proper respect for the greatest country in the history of the world. If I were the NFL, I would be worried.

Linking arms means you are not placing a hand over your heart.
