JJ watts said he was disappointed that people booed the unified front
The NFL players showed last night! Get with it son, the masses are tired of BLM. Racial injustice is a bad thing but this movement will only continue to divide this nation. I don't know where this is headed but this nation is going down the shitter and fast. Maybe ole sly croom said it best Maroon is all that matters!

Actually a large group of Texans came out of the tunnel at that moment. It was really bad timing.

The video says it was while both teams did their little protest. Interesting that you want to believe otherwise.

The booing starts immediately after the PA guy asks for "moment of silence" for social injustice (or whatever). Then while still booing...announcer thanks the "crowd". haha

God forgive us. We can't pray to the Creator of the Universe or sing the national anthem but we can have a moment of silence for some types of social justice but not others? We've now entered the Twilght Zone.

Supposedly, the video board at the stadium was displaying BLM and or "social justice" messages and then the boos started.

Sorry, I was referring to when the texans came back out after the anthem. They did apparently boo during the moment of silence as well.
I missed the unity moment, but I fully support unity and full and protections under the law. Everyone that booed can go 17 themselves.

i heard the booing as they were standing side by side on the field...good try though!

Look I have a ton of issues with BLM and I'm by no means a leftist. This comment has nothing to do with whether BLM activism is good or bad, it has to do with the logic you're using:
Yes, people booed the BLM stuff. Unpopularity of an issue doesn't mean it's wrong- most football fans in the 60s would have booed MLK, does that make his movement wrong?
And further, is BLM really "dividing the nation", or was the divide always there you just didn't have it shoved in your face? Again to go back to the late 50s and early 60's social justice movements, you could argue that MLK and other black leaders were "dividing the country" by making whites face what was happening. But I think most of us can agree the horrible racism and injustice black people were facing existed long before it was brought to the forefront and America had to deal with it.
Is racism among police a big issue? Is policing in general a big issue? Do black people still face injustices? I don't claim to know. All I'm saying is that movements for progress are often "booed" and disliked by many.
Whether BLM is good or bad isn't my point: My point is that that you can't judge a movements' merits by popular opinion

I appreciate you looking at it objectively. I find it amazing that pretty much all players across most sports and 99.9% of black people speak up about their perceived racial injustices, just to have a bunch of white armchair quarterbacks tell them "nah that's not what you've experienced so shut up and get this off my tv." Now its clear you can get bogged down in some of the politics of it, for instance focusing on BLM the organization, but most of these players and people don't give 2 shits about the actual organization. You don't have to like it or watch it, but the fact it bothers so many people to a degree shows that a problem exists.

So you are on the fence about a group supporting Marxism?
Interesting......

Always trying to make it about something that it's not. Where would you stand if there was no BLM, just everyday people asking, requesting and demanding equality for ALL? Yep just what I figured, you find a different political angle to try and derail the real cause.

do you want equality for all in terms of opportunity or outcome? There's a huge difference in the 2.

Hey Einstein there is a BLM....a very marxist, police hating organization.
Yep, right all this BS isn't political.

I am proud to say I am part of the 13% viewership decrease from last years first game. Won't waste my time with them or the NBA.

I don't want to see the BLM organization ride the coattails of a legitimate movement and gain popularity/strength. People need to give 2 💩 and pay attention and educate themselves so an organization that is anti American (IMO) is not blindly followed without knowing what's most important to THAT organization.
I want any and all racial injustices eradicated.!!!

Maybe the people that showed up wanted to see a football game and not a protest?

The fans are disappointed that they have to see virtue signaling and protesting about things they disagree with constantly in sports that they pay to be entertained with. Free speech goes both ways. It was the lowest rated Opening day NFL Game in 10 years. People are tired of people like JJ Watt thinking anyone gives a shit what their world view happens to be.

What's amazing to me is in a country of 320 million people there are people that are surprised that some disagree with them.
My advice to those people is to be as good a person as you can be and expect people to screw up.
