After being asked to support player anthem protests during the Green Bay Packers game on Sept. 28, most fans chose not to join the team, and instead did quite the opposite, almost staging a protest of the protest.

Chants of “USA! USA!” could be heard from the stands before the anthem started. As the two teams locked arms in what those in the NFL call “unity,” most fans did not join in, even after Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers and Packers team management wrote letters and made statements urging fans to do so, ESPN reported.
