Villenueva is a Ranger. My guess is, he can kick the ass of any of his teammates without breaking a sweat!

Good point Leni.

The Good Lord sure is separating the sheep from the goats.

Isn’t that the truth!

Great picture!

Agree with your solution, but that's not what the Steelers did. According to the coach, he decided that none of the players would go out for the Anthem. Villanueva defied that top-down boycott by going out anyway.

the Steelers got booed when they ran on to the field.

Perfect.

There’s so much to say about this.

But Alejandro Villanueva said it all, without saying a word.

Sadly, the leftists in the Steelers, especially the one running the Steelers, will end up punishing him for his actions and may end up killing his football career... but I suspect he thinks that it’s worth it to hold up his oath and creed.

Yep, they may run him out of the league, but the guy is a winner and that will stay with him forever...

Yeah. Read the same thing in latter postings as well.

I guess my post was more of a theory of how you might effectively corral the whiny pouters without doing more damage to the team brand or continuing to P.O. the fans (the ones that care, that is).

***This whole "anthem" thing may spin out of control and cause so many bad effects***

About six or seven years ago I wrote a letter to NFL Commissioner, Roger Goodell, and predicted that he would ruin the NFL as a business... Looks like he is fulfilling my prediction. Like Rush, I saw this concussion issue as one nail in the coffin of the NFL - for political destructive reasons. The media wants to promote soccer, which ESPN is already covering like they used to cover football... I suppose to be more like Europe et al.

As Rush is saying today, the NFL owners are favoring their employees over their customers - and demanding their right to do so. This cannot turn out well for the NFL. Like Rush, I have been a long-time fan of Sunday football... and, like Rush, I took next Sunday's tv listings and put an 'X' on the NFL games.

Just like Rush's experience with the NFL when he tried to become an owner.
