- Sports Illustrated and Yahoo! have put out a partial list of restaurants who will no longer air NFL games until the uppity people who believe in human rights are brought to heel (or the league is turned completely White). They report four restaurants, one each in South Carolina, Texas, New York, and Louisiana, won't put the NFL on anymore.
- Delanie Walker of the Titans has received death threats from angry Crackers over the protests, and so has his family. (MSN, through the AP)
- Same article: The father of another protestor, Akeem Spence, was boycotted by a potential person who wanted the father to work on his house, but chose not to when Spence took part in the protests.
- Walker and cornerback Logan Ryan of the Titans have told potential attendees of future games that, if they don't like the protests, don't show up.
- Both the Packers and the Bears linked arms for tonight's Anthem, but only some of the Packer faithful at Lambeau joined them -- the Pack wanted all fans to do so.
- Side comment: I didn't realize this til my anonymous friend showed me, but the linking-arms protest actually comes from Martin Luther King.
Selma march, 1965.
