NFL Network’s James Jones says “it’s disrespectful” to boo during a moment of unity.
“It’s really disrespectful and it’s disgusting just to see that and hear that go on.”
The former Super Bowl champ was shocked to hear booing during the Chiefs-Texans’ pregame “moment of unity” and he went off about it after the game.
“If you’re going to boo, don’t even come to the game,” Jones said on NFL Network’s post-game show. “Don’t boo and then act like that, and then cheer us to score touchdowns when the game comes.”
Just in case you missed what happened, after the National anthems were played, both teams met in the middle of the field and locked arms before their NFL season-opening game Thursday night.

Stadium mics picked up fans booing the players and even JJ Watt called it out after the game.
“It’s bigger than touchdowns,” Jones said. “It’s bigger than Super Bowls. It’s bigger than all of that. I have two young kids and it hurts that somebody out there hates them because of the color of their skin. And, that is what we’re trying to end. We’re trying to end racism.”
