Ravens, Jags lock arms during national anthem protest

In the first NFL game since President Donald Trump said players who take a knee during the national anthem should be fired, the Baltimore Ravens and Jacksonville Jaguars locked arms on their sidelines before Sunday morning's kickoff in London.

Some took a knee and some stood but everyone on each team took part, including Jags owner Shadid Khan.
