Some Kansas City Chiefs fans booed players during a moment of silence “dedicated to the ongoing fight for equality” during the NFL’s season opener.

"Some NFL fans booing the players for standing and locking arms in a moment of silent unity proves that for them 'standing for the flag' was always about perpetuating white supremacy," the councilman said in a statement.vowed that the boos won't slow the fight against systemic racism.

"And it steels our resolve to continue the fight for justice and against racism here in Kansas City and throughout the Country," Bough wrote in a retweet ofcolumnist Vahe Gregorian lambasted"Because with Kansas City in the national spotlight for what is a massive television audience to launch the NFL season amid the chaos of the pandemic, more than a few voices resonated in nasty, embarrassing fashion before the game," the sports columnist wrote.

"The derision spoke volumes, betraying the city and team in both senses of the word. It broke faith with the players they apparently support only as gladiators, and it revealed anew that an appeal for equality is offensive to some even during this great awakening and reckoning.""We’re a good city of good people. I heard boos too," he tweeted.
