Since we learned Donald Trump will be the next President of the United States, protests have taken place across the country, including in Baltimore, where the Ravens hosted the Browns for Thursday Night Football.
While the two teams were playing football inside M&T Bank Stadium, protesters made their presence felt outside. Some gathered near one of the main entrances to the stadium.

At halftime, Bob Costas mentioned there were “peaceful protests in Baltimore in response to the results of the election.” He added one stopped for a while outside of the stadium and moved on. Thankfully, Costas was able to say the protests were peaceful.
