Green Bay Packers link arms for anthem before Cowboys game
Green Bay Packers players linked arms on the sideline during the national anthem Sunday afternoon before their game against the Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium.
Cowboys players stood, per usual, many with their hands over their hearts.
The arm link has replaced kneeling for many players in the NFL as a way of showing team unity in the wake of President Donald Trump’s verbal attacks directed at certain players, including Colin Kaepernick, for kneeling during the anthem to protest racial injustice.
