Redskins show support of Ferguson

There were so many headlines to come out of Monday night's exhibition match between the Washington Redskins and Cleveland Browns you would have thought it was a regular season game. The one that caught my eye the most was what the Redskins secondary decided to do as they were introduced, not Johnny flipping the bird or RGIII still not learning how to slide (Seriously! Can somebody teach the guy?).

As the Redskins secondary came out of the tunnel, they all had both arms raised in the air, also known as the international signal of surrendering and being unarmed. This, of course, is in light of the incidents that have been occurring in Ferguson, MO the last two weeks. On August 9th, Michael Brown, an 18 year-old African-American boy was shot dead by a police officer. I'm sure most of you know the story by now but it is an issue that has swept the nation's attention. There has been both positive and negative backlash of the actions of these players. Some people like they are silently protesting while others think that sports and politics should be kept separate. What is your view?
