The Kansas City Chiefs and Houston Texans attempted to show a moment of unity before Thursday’s NFL season opener, but boos could be apparently heard coming from the crowd at Arrowhead Stadium in Missouri.

Before the ritual, the Texans remained in the locker for the U.S. national anthem and the song, “Lift Every Voice and Sing,“ which some have termed the ”black national anthem.”
