prevnextThe booing you heard rejected BLM, not unity. The booing you heard rejected the rioting, looting, violence and in-your-face harassment associated with the BLM movement. BLM, just like the KKK, "mostly peaceful." Bull Connor = "mostly peaceful." https://t.co/93y9QOxy0R

BLM inspires racism, ideological polarization and hostility toward Christian values and American patriotism. I’m more concerned about the people inside Arrowhead who didn’t boo. They’re the people afraid to tell athletes you can’t end racism with racism. https://t.co/93y9QOxy0R

Chiefs fans aren’t stupid. They’re informed, passionate and fearless, @WhitlockJason says. They love their country more than the players who have swallowed Black Lives Matter’s ideologyhttps://t.co/ipqfy9t5it

prevnextKansas City Chiefs fans showing ZERO class as they boo a joint Chiefs/Texans show of unity before tonight’s game. Approximately 16,000 fans embarrassing Kansas City, Missouri, America, & all football fans (like me). Sad.pic.twitter.com/nnzjTjV5gI

So, the Chiefs and Texans lock arms in moment of unity for racial equality and the fans boo?
Like, not even worried about telling on yourselves?
NEWSFLASH: Equality and unity are not political.
If you can’t agree on that - you’re not American.
You’re simply a disgrace. https://t.co/f2LPsbH0fz

- about privilege by multi-millionaires?
- about racism by a predominantly black NFL (70%)?https://t.co/38fTlz7hku
prevnextWow. There appeared to be loud boos from the Kansas City crowd during “the moment of unity,” a call for social justice, as the Chiefs and Texans lined up and linked arms before the NFL opener.

At the Chiefs vs Texans game the fans booed when the players locked arms in unity.
U are a fan of the game, the players, you buy their jerseys, you cheer when they score but boo them as humans for wanting to be treated equal.
SHAME ON THE KC FANS. So ignorant & disresepectful.

Football officially started last night. Arrowhead Stadium the Chiefs vs the Texans. During the pre game both teams came out and lined up together to show unity and stand for what's happening in this country w BLM and they were boo'd. I'm guessing the stadium was filled w MAGAts

prevnextNFL fans boo "unity" because the @NFL itself has long been the epicenter of spinelessness, greed, and misguided leadership priorities. As a former fan of NFL football, this doesn't surprise me at all. https://t.co/YuoWDeQau0
