If you’re in Chicago hoping to catch a few football games this season, then don’t expect these two bars to entertain you.

According to the Chicago Sun Times, The Velvet Lounge and Bureau Bar will not be playing any NFL games this season in support of Colin Kaepernick.

In an Instagram post on Wednesday, August 23, 2017, both bars posted the same picture on their pages with the same caption saying they, “WILL BE SUPPORTING COLIN KAEPERNICK’S CAUSE AND WILL NOT BE SHOWING ANY NFL GAMES UNTIL SOMETHING CHANGES. WE LOOK FORWARD TO SERVING YOU.”

This is a huge show of support, especially for bars during the NFL season. Way to go Chicago! We see you!
