The Green Bay Packers released a statement Tuesday, asking fans to follow their lead and link arms during the national anthem Thursday night before they take on the Bears. (Check out the statement at Packers.com)
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. 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. You will see the sons of police officers, kids who grew up in military families, people who have themselves experienced injustice and discrimination firsthand, and an array of others all linking together in a display of unity.
Do you have any issue with that? Are you going to the game? Will you join in?
“Air it Out” (9-11 AM) with Marques, Bill & Rookie. Plus, we’ll take a look at the Bears with Nick Shepkowski of 670 The Score (Chicago) at 10:00 AM. (Stream online at TheFan1075.com)
