Fans in Boston have been known to say and do worse. With a few of Donald Trump’s closest friends inside the Patriots organization, New England was the last place you probably expected to see some kind of national anthem protest.
Funny how things turn, as multiple Patriots players kneeled during the playing of the national anthem before their matchup against the Houston Texans.
Pats fans serenaded the home team with boos for their silent protest:

I don't know when football became a political forum but I just heard @Patriots fans boo their own players LOUD and clear. #marriedtoamarine pic.twitter.com/NXTcZyrtey— Michelle R Riviello (@ChelleReneeUD) September 24, 2017
