(@JMKTV) Dozens of players on both sides took a knee, significantly more than ever before, while those standing locked arms in a show of unity.
Ray Lewis, former Raven and current FS1 personality, joined those kneeling. Lewis has been far from Colin Kaepernick’s biggest supporter.
Jaguars owner Shad Khan, who gave $1 million to Trump’s inauguration committee, was on the sidelines.
