Here we go! The first game of the NFL has begun!
The Houston Texans have decided walk back to their locker room ahead of the National Anthem and the “Black National Anthem” to avoid the “misinterpretation” of favoring one song over the other.

All but one Kansas City Chiefs player kneeled during the national anthem.
All the KC Chiefs — with the exception of one player — stood for the national anthem. The Houston Texans stayed in the locker room.
