GREEN BAY, Wis. -- On Thursday night, Green Bay Packers players say they will be linking arms in unity during the national anthem just like they did at Sunday's game. And quarterback Aaron Rodgers hopes fans will do the same.

"This is about equality. This is about unity … and starting a conversation around something that maybe a little uncomfortable for some people," Rodgers said.

Packers fan Meghan Kempen is not a fan of the protests.

They can stop with the linking of arms too. Just stand there like a mature, independent American man. The way it’s always been done before. You don’t need to hold hands like frightened first graders during a Fire Drill.

All players stood for Anthem...

Trump WINS AGAIN!!

Only a few fans arm-locked. Most fans held their hand over their heart.

“Green Bay Packers planning show of solidarity during national anthem”

Solidarity with whom or what?

Or is it solidarity to further insult the country and the fans?

This was from ONE year only, his ADULT record only.

What kind of juvenile record did he have?

I heard he had Attempted Murder on there.

Yes both teams had there “love locked” arms in play. Whatever! This will not last as it will show like some kind “safe space” then need to stand for the Anthem.

Only a dozen or so fans did the arm lock. The MAJORITY of pack fans stood appropriately.

Yes, did they link arms? Or did they honor the flag with their hands over heart?

“You don’t need to hold hands like frightened first graders during a Fire Drill.”

No kidding! For YEARS Rush has been harping on the, ‘feminization’ of football.

I thought he was full of beans - but once again, He’s Right, You know!

I’m so p*ssed I’m spitting nails! This is the FIRST Packer game I’ve missed in 50 years. FIFTY YEARS!

Fecking little p*ssants!

Socialists. Ruin. Everything. EVERYTHING!

"starting a conversation around something that maybe a little uncomfortable for some people"

As bad as all of the kneeling b.s. has been, I didn't think it could get worse until we had to start getting these kinds of moronic condescending comments from a twit like Aaron Rodgers.

Players Linked arms.

Fans placed hands over hearts.

Players are MORONS, bought and sold by the LEFT.

Fans are true Patriots.

Quick, get the memo to Green Bay:

Eff the holding hands BS, during American national anthem...Start singing the North Korean national anthem. And get all the NFL groupies in the stands to sing along.
