The Cardinals and Dallas Cowboys linked arms on the sidelines last night during the national anthem at University of Phoenix Stadium.
The Cowboys took a knee on the field before the anthem. That capped off an NFL weekend in which many players responded to comments made by President Trump at a rally on Friday in Alabama.
The president has said his objections to players not standing for the anthem are about respect for the flag, and not race — but outside the White House, his comments are largely being viewed as being about race.
