Players and coaches from the Kansas City Chiefs and Houston Texans met at midfield for a pregame "Moment of Unity" before their Week 1 game, which was met with a scattering of boos from the limited fans at Arrowhead Stadium.
Seven phrases developed by players on both teams were displayed on the scoreboard during the moment:
- We Support Equality
- We Must End Racism
- We Believe in Justice for All
- We Must End Police Brutality
- We Choose Unconditional Love
- We Believe Black Lives Matter
- It Takes All of Us
The "Moment of Unity" took place following the performance of the national anthem.
Fans in attendance at Thursday's season opener also took part in the "Arrowhead Chop," which the Chiefs have attempted to distance themselves from.
