Hmm. Not so sure football fans wanna see more of this crap at a game they pay for. Not good for the players to take a position at game. Wrong Place, wrong time. Of course, so was making kids cry at Westlake Center. RE: Reverberations of the Ferguson events were evident at the St. Louis Rams game. Inside the dome, five Rams players engaged in their own apparent show of solidarity for Ferguson protesters, standing with their arms raised in a Hands Up gesture before trotting onto the field for pregame introductions. All five -- Tavon Austin, Kenny Britt, Stedman Bailey, Jared Cook and Chris Givens -- are black. After the game, about 100 protesters marched in the area near the Edward Jones Dome, chanting, Ram fans -- join the movement. When about three dozen St. Louis officers in riot gear showed up to make sure things didnt get out of hand, many of the fans broke out in spontaneous applause for the officers.
