N.F.L. Protests: Seahawks and Titans Skip National Anthem

N.F.L. players across the country demonstrated during the national anthem on Sunday in a show of solidarity against President Trump, who scolded the league and players on Twitter this weekend. With the support of team owners, some of whom joined their teams on the field, dozens of players knelt in silent protests, while Tom Brady and others opted to stand and lock arms.

The Seattle Seahawks and Tennessee Titans both stayed in their respective locker rooms prior to their matchup in Nashville. Stay here for live updates:
