The Seattle Seahawks are one of several NFL teams who have been leading the fight against social injustice, racism and police brutality.
Seahawks and Falcons players lined up across each goal line, arm-and-arm, as Lift Every Voice and Sing, a song known as the “Black Anthem, played in Mercedes Benz Stadium.
Immediately after the opening kickoff in Mercedes Benz stadium, all players from both teams took a knee and ignored where the ball was going to bring attention to the recent events in the country.
