Anthem Protests, Patriotism at Lambeau Field

It's not often that the national anthem receives as much attention as a football game, but that was the case Thursday night as the Green Bay Packers faced the Chicago Bears at Lambeau Field. Aaron Rodgers asked fans to link arms in solidarity with players who have been protesting. Here's how it went down.
