Aaron Rodgers said the Packers will once again link arms during the national anthem on Thursday night before Green Bay's game against the Bears. Notably, the two-time Super Bowl champion quarterback also said the team will ask fans to join them in the demonstration of unity, reports PackersNews.com's Aaron Nagler.
Before Sunday's overtime victory over the Bengals, the Packers linked arms during the anthem while three Packers—Martellus Bennett, Kevin King and Lance Kendricks—chose to kneel. National anthem protests were widespread during Week 3 after president Donald Trump made controversial comments at a campaign rally for Alabama senator Luther Strange.
As of now, no team has asked its fans to participate in a demonstration during the national anthem.

This could backfire bigly.
Hope they have fun. This packer fan has tuned out.
Gee, let me consider that for a moment. NO. Not NO but HELL NO!
Somebody get me Brett Favre.
How noble.
Hahahahahahahahahahaha!
Maybe they could do the Hokey Pokey, too.
That would really help.
How about Aaron respectfully stand facing the flag with hand over heart? That is pretty unified.
Aaron...How about just concentrating on your job?
What fans?
Retire Brett
He probably wants us to get rid of the National Anthem and have us sing “We Shall Overcome” while we link arms together. I am not kidding.
Unity? Unity in what? Creeps.
another kiss of peace shallowness....Catholics who attend Mass know what I mean...
It’s like the Super Bowl of virtue signaling.
This will not end well for NFL.

We used to have something just like that. I believe it was called putting your hand over your heart and standing respectfully for the national anthem.
Kumbaya.
Veteran burning season tickets. Please help pass on.
