Most Packers fans did not appear to link arms during anthem

Many fans did not appear to grant the request of the Packers to stand and link arms during the national anthem prior to Thursday night’s game.

Earlier this week, Packers players asked fans at Lambeau Field to link arms as they planned to do during the playing of the national anthem. Members of both the Packers and Bears stood with arms linked.

It does not appear many fans followed suit. You can see a few shots of the crowd below.

We saw an unprecedented number of players protest racial injustice in the country and display unity in response to President Donald Trump’s comments during last week’s NFL games. We can probably expect much of the same this weekend and for the foreseeable future.

The results of last weekend’s displays around the league led to a player’s father losing work, a petition being started to remove Ray Lewis’ statue in Baltimore, and a car dealership requesting an advertisement featuring Von Miller no longer be shown.
