NFL learns the hard way: You can't unify fans while protesting the national anthem

The NFL season started off last night, and another round of protests joined it. The limited capacity Chiefs stadium booed both teams as they engaged in a show of unity that was nothing more than a bait and switch, and the bubble that is sports media still cannot comprehend why fans dislike these protests.

NFL insider Ian Rapoport said fans booed for “some ridiculous reason,” while NFL Network’s Steve Wyche said Chiefs fans had “racial issues.” Good Morning Football host Kyle Brandt solemnly stated that “history will write that there was booing.” NFL star J.J. Watt was also confused by the negative reaction from fans.
