       JJ Watt calls booing during moment of unity 'unfortunate'

       J.J. Watt said Thursday he heard fans booing when his Houston
       Texans teammates and the Kansas City Chiefs players took the
       field for a moment of unity before the coin toss.
       The Texans were not on the field during the national anthem or
       the rendition of “Lift Every Voice and Sing.” Instead, the
       players chose to stay in the locker room. They joined the Chiefs
       players at midfield before the game. Players locked arms and
       spread out across the field.
       Watt said he heard some boos, which struck a nerve with NFL fans
       on social media as well.
       “The moment of unity I personally thought was good,” the star
       defensive end told reporters after the game. “I mean the booing
       during that moment was unfortunate. I don't fully understand
       that. There was no flag involved. There was nothing involved
       other than two teams coming together to show unity.”
       Texans coach Bill O’Brien said he didn’t think the booing was
       for the moment of unity.
       “I thought that that was a nice thing to do, so I'm not sure why
       they would boo that,” O’Brien said. “Maybe they were just booing
       us because we had just come on the field as the visiting team.
       But yeah, I thought that that was a nice gesture.”
       Chiefs coach Andy Reid said he didn’t hear any boos.
       “I thought that was kind of a neat deal, both sides coming
       together for a cause and the story was told there,” he said.
       “We can all learn from this, and really it's just to make us all
       better, even a stronger country than we already are. We have a
       chance to just be completely unstoppable when all hands join
       together and that's a beautiful thing.”
       [move]J.J. it's not the gesture of unity they may have been
       booing it's the overall look it gives that the NFL has bought
       into and support a Marxist group such as BLM! Because of your
       backing of this organization many of us don't even watch anymore
       and have given up football all together![/move]
