According to the St. Louis American, members of the St. Louis Rams showed their support for protests in Ferguson, Missouri, when they took the field against the Oakland Raiders November 30 when the receiving corp put their hands up, a sign of the “hands up, don’t shoot,” message used by protesters.

Despite the show of solidarity with protesters, the players involved said they just want positive change to come to the area.

The support began when Kenny Britt was announced in the starting line-up. Then as Tavon Austin, Jared Cook. Stedman Bailey and Chris Givens made their way out of the tunnel, they all stood together before running down the field.

They would go on to beat the Oakland Raiders 52-0.
