Jacksonville Jaguars owner Shad Khan joined his players in a display of unity before Sunday’s game in London.
Multiple players kneeled during the national anthem, while several others linked arms in a stand and show of unity in response to President Trump’s comments on Friday. Here’s a sample of their actions:

Khan had not issued a statement condemning the president’s remarks unlike many of his fellow owners, but he made a difference through his actions before the game in London.

Khan is among the owners who donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration, so clearly he has supported the president in the past. But this weekend he was moved to take a stand with his players and team.
