While Dolphins Players Kneel for Anthem, The Seahawks Do Something VERY Different

As four Miami Dolphins players kneeled in protest during the national anthem on Sunday, quarterback Russell Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks held a much different demonstration.

Across the field from the kneeling players, the Seahawks locked arms in a “demonstration of unity.” The players were praised for making a bold statement while also respecting the U.S. flag and the national anthem.

 Compare the two strikingly different scenes:

Some of the imagery that emerged from the Seahawks’ demonstration was fitting on the anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

Of course, the Military was in attendance as well.
