Some fans in attendance at Kansas City's Arrowhead Stadium on Thursday appeared to boo during a pregame "Moment of Unity."
The gesture, which was conceived in part by Texans QB Deshaun Watson and Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes, involved both teams coming together at midfield. Seven phrases developed by players on both teams were displayed on the scoreboard during the moment:
- We Support Equality
- We Must End Racism
- We Believe in Justice for All
- We Must End Police Brutality
- We Choose Unconditional Love
- We Believe Black Lives Matter
- It Takes All of Us
The "Moment of Unity" took places following the performance of the national anthem.
