Cannon told reporters he was baffled that fans in Toyota Stadium – the home of FC Dallas – were booing as players knelt in protest of racial injustice and police brutality. I think it was absolutely disgusting,” Cannon said, according to MLSSoccer.com. It’s baffling to me.”The national anthem was being played because fans were back in attendance for the first time since the league shut down over the coronavirus pandemic. Cannon, who is a U.S. national team member, said Nashville and the league were informed that players were going to kneel whether the anthem was played or not.
