So what was the deal with the fans booing the display of unity at the Chiefs-Texans game?

Pardon me if this has already been discussed.

I wasn't sure what I was hearing when both teams locked arms in a show of unity/moment of silence before the game started.

Do they know that their amazing QB is biracial?

One of the contenders was this years super bowl winner - Kansas City chiefs. I presume most of the fans in stadium were their fans. Booing at a show of unity.

“Some NFL fans booing the players for standing and locking arms in a moment of silent unity proves that for them ‘standing for the flag’ was always about perpetuating white supremacy,” said Bunch, who is white.

Why do they hate America?

These are rabidly racist assholes, they hate POC and they hate Women.

As long as Black folk are polite, submissive and entertaining, they will tolerate them, otherwise WATCH OUT!

That is who supports the TRAITOR in the WH.

they could block those who booed from future games. I just think it would be better to have no fans in the stadium myself while this virus is still around. Think the KC region has rather high numbers right now.

And I say boycott NFL until they stop allowing fans.
