On Sunday, a group of approximately 100 peaceful activists carried two coffins in a peaceful procession that went to the entrance of AT&T stadium in Dallas where the hometown Cowboys were facing off against the New York Giants in an NFL Sunday night football game. This location was chosen on purpose. Cowboys team owner Jerry Jones has been very vocal about his displeasure with the kneeling protests NFL players have been staging over the last two years. This procession was a demonstration for Jones, who seemingly doesn’t understand why we kneel.
When the procession got to the stadium, a eulogy was given for Botham Shem Jean and O’Shae Terry—two black men killed recently by law enforcement in the north Texas area.
Attorney Lee Merritt, who represents Botham Jean’s family, said in a press release Monday that 9 of the 100 activists went off on their own after the eulogy and engaged in a peaceful act of civil disobedience in which they obstructed traffic into the game. When police came to arrest them, they each willingly submitted to arrest.
