Two Kansas City Chiefs players sat during the national anthem Monday night following the deadliest shooting in United States history.

Cornerback Marcus Peters and linebacker Ukeme Eligwe were the only two players on either team who decided to sit during the anthem:

Although no video was available that showed Eligwe, a video clip was found that showed Peters sitting during the performance of The Star-Spangled Banner.

WATCH:

NFL fans immediately lashed out at Peters over social media following his decision to sit (warning: language):

There’s a 101% Marcus Peters doesn’t know what he’s sitting for. FYI this is the same guy who got kicked off his college team.
