Hand holding in the lil kim regime and lbgt pride parades is pretty standard fare. Maybe it's just now catching on in the NFL. Seems a lot of teams trying to get fans in a kumbayah moment.

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.

What is it they want to unify about?

Their Holiday shopping plans! (shaking my head) :)
Who knows? I am not watching either.
All their talking points come from the Left. So it is just more Social Justice B.S.
Their new name should be Green Bay Fudge Packers.
Right you are
Will the fans be dumb enough to buy this approach?
is this what happened? no one in the stadium linked arms?
[What a revolting piece of monkey vomit filth Rodgers is.]
He’s a flaming liberal from Berkley.
Now that is funny!
You mean like, people admitting that Trevon Martin and Michael Brown were thugs and that their killers acted in self-defense?
“...Green Bay Fudge Packers...”
And that goes double for QB Rodgers. Bart Starr he ain’t.
I saw a twitter feed showing the crowd...
Many shots of the crowd looked normal, like free standing people with hands over their hearts.
Then there was one shot UP CLOSE of a few fans who linked arms, around 7 or so.
The Majority of fans refused to engage in the arm linking.
ONLY the players truly linked arms... But if they keep this up, it will show just how controlled the players are.
+1
As far as I am concerned, the NFL, its owners and players/coaches can all go to hell. Even if these idiots start paying appropriate respect to the anthem and flag, I want their tax loopholes closed, their subsidies removed and that 9B dollar business to start paying taxes. They have skated far too long with the help of politicians. Time to make the NFL pay its fair share.
thanks for the briefing...did any of the fans boo when the players linked arms?
The Packers stood with arms linked. Not good enough. It’s still a symbolic demonstration that co-opts the national anthem.
+1
If they linked arms they may as well sat on the bench.
They don’t even know what they’re doing. What are the parameters? When do they go back to the old way. When the world is perfect? Dumbasses.
Happy to be baseball only. Go Tribe, Nats, and Yankees!!
You are welcome.
Could not tell you whether there was any booing...
Too late. The turd is in the punch bowl. The whole season is in the crapper. Maybe they can write a book......call it What Happened.
