Steelers will not participate in today’s National Anthem, as @JamieErdahl reported. Steelers will remain in locker room during Anthem.

Predictable....NFL is very screwed. The American people are not going to stand for this. 9/24/2017will be remembered as the first day of the last day of the NFL,

[Texas Eagle]

Stupid fans are so desparate for meaning in their lives that they will continue to cheer for multi-millionaires who would sooner spit in their faces.

[umgud]

I say again; They can pick and choose their actions.

They can’t pick and choose the reactions.

[DallasBiff]

The Rooney family have always been democrat stooges.

This will not go down well in Pittsburgh.

[JohnBrowdie]

that’s not going to go over well in pittsburg

[Mouton]

Self destruction on live TV.

[mewzilla]

Other than Philly, it won’t go down well in the rest of PA.

[Will88]

A perfect coward’s response to the controversy.

[Diogenesis]

The massive American BOYCOTT of the NFL
should therefore appropriately extend to their advertisers.

[NotSoFreeStater]

It doesn’t go down well with this Steeler fan.

I was a flight attendant and was temporarily based in Pittsburgh about 20 years ago.

Great Americans live there and I pray they choose patriotism over these unAmerican losers.

[FlipWilson]

Idiots. Still, I would rather see them do this than kneel.

[freedomjusticeruleoflaw]

Everyone gets to choose. I choose to avoid the NFL.

[LostInBayport]

I am praying that my fellow Americans to the right thing en masse and hit them where it hurts: the wallet. Stop buying tickets to games, shopping and wearing NFL merchandise and most of all stop sending that monthly check to the cable company for the sports channels.

Otherwise we allow them to disrespect our flag, our nation, and...us.

[Yaelle]

Any fans attending such a game might as well be on their knees too.

I predict the NFL is about to give up playing the anthem or displaying the flags any more, it’s their only way out and it’s a fricken cowardly one.

[Kenny]

Aren’t they just trying to avoid the issue? Seems like no one can kneel if they’re not on the field and it’s not disrespectful to sit it out. I don’t think they’re doing it in protest but should make it clear if not.

[Leep]

Mostly screwing with rich libs and other over paid players..so, like the kids say, “whatever”

[LittleSpotBlog]

WHAT??? This has now reached the point of total lunacy.

[mewzilla]

BTW, doesn't NFL policy require teams to be put on the field for the anthem...?

[KyCats]

We’ll soon find out.

Will the fans support the United States of America? Or will they support a bunch of millionaire gangsta racists who hate this country?
