Packers Players Ask Fans Attending Thursday’s Game to Lock Arms During National Anthem

The Green Bay Packers released a statement Tuesday asking fans attending their upcoming home game against the Chicago Bears to lock arms during the national anthem as a sign of unity.

"This Thursday during the national anthem at Lambeau Field, Packers players, coaches and staff will join together with arms intertwined—connected like the threads on your favorite jersey," the statement said. "When we take this action, what you will see will be so much more than just a bunch of football players locking arms.

"The image you will see on September 28th will be one of unity. It will represent a coming together of players who want the same things that all of us do—freedom, equality, tolerance, understanding, and justice for those who have been unjustly treated, discriminated against or otherwise treated unfairly."

The statement went on to say, "Let’s work together to build a society that is more fair and just."

Do what you must, but to drag the fans into it is a bridge too far, especially when your fans have the longest commute of any NFL team.

An extremely childish attempt to manipulate their customers. I hope the fans react appropriately.

I don't want to speak for the Packer fan base, but I'd wager they are going to hear more boo's than see locked arms.

I'll bet the majority do not do this but others will; I say it might be 65% don't, 35% do. General range.

Nobody posted it but I believe the Patriots have come out and they will be standing they said. I"ll find it, that "lock arms" doesn't impress me that much but it would be better than the alternative.

I've been a life-long Packers fan. I've watched their games through good times and bad times. I watched every game that I could, even through the crap years of the 70s and 80s. But I won't be watching Thursday night.

If they keep it up, I may never watch them again.
