Pittsburgh Steelers fans are taking to social media to show how upset they are that the team stayed inside during the national anthem.
“I’m a lifelong Steelers fan, not anymore. Not a fan of you, the NFL, any of it,” says Jim Heaney on YouTube.
Heaney posted the video of himself setting all of his Steelers gear on fire following the team’s decision to decide to stay inside the locker room/tunnel during the national anthem.
“And I hope all your ignorance burns too,” Heaney says as he throws his Steelers gear on the fire.
Heaney ends his video by saying, “there you go, goodbye Pittsburgh Steelers, burn in hell, Semper Fi.”
In another video posted to YouTube, Robert Williams of Texas posted a video of himself burning hundreds of dollars in Steelers gear.
“We have morals in this country. We stand for this country. My great uncle’s bones are lying in the bottom of Pearl Harbor. For this country, for the flag, for your freedom to play in the NFL and to say whatever you want to say. But you do not disrespect the flag and the country and the Constitution. So watch this stuff burn,” Williams says.

In a video posted to Twitter, and shared more than 15,000 times, Arvin Gibbs is seen on video burning a Steelers sweatshirt and hat, while holding an American flag.
“Super Bowl right? As if I care, what I care about is this country, what I care about is freedom, and it’s all about those stars and stripes,” Williams says.
“Never again will waste one minute of my life following the NFL or the Pittsburgh Steelers,” another YouTube video user says.
“I am no longer am a Steelers fan or of anyone that will not stand for our anthem no matter your political views or color of your skin. I hope your sport goes up in flames like my shirt did,” says Christos Kallas.
“Today after 30 years of loving the Pittsburgh Steelers I’m going burn my Steelers jersey . They have taken a great American sport that people use to forget there problems with and turned it into a political circus that disrespects our Country and our Military that gave there lives for your freedom,” posted YouTube user Michael Hesson.
“They announced that the Steelers previously weren’t going to come on the field for the national anthem. When they came on the field, the whole bar booed, the whole single bar,” said one caller. “I actually got up and left I was so upset.”
The battle between patriotism and globalism is being fought on many fronts.
This is but another
I’m for renaming them the Pittsburgh Kneelers!
Good for them. They wanted to watch an event for a few hours to get away from it all, and their reward was a view to a protest, and an ill-defined one at that.
What a hornet’s nest these idiots have on their hands. When Rush no longer watches the NFL is in huge trouble with no good way out.
Catchy, but Pittsburgh pieces of sub human monkey vomit filth who should be exterminated like cockroaches would be more accurate.
I can’t believe there are “men” on this site that still watch NFL.
The end-game of the Left is to overthrow our Republic, our country as founded, and replaced capitalism with socialism.
Black players are being exploited by white leftists.
Who are these people who’d continue to support a children’s game and these overpaid anti-American screw worms, over America’s national anthem and the tens of hundreds of thousands who’ve served and died for this country?
I find all of this unreal...
GOOD
Hiding in the locker rooms is just as disrespectful as taking the knee on the field.
In the locker room you aren’t out there showing the fans your patriotism.
Army vet Alejandro Villanueva had the backbone to come out by himself to take field for national anthem and he showed what a bunch of punks the rest of the team is.
Remember the old country adage:
“If you ain’t with us you’re agin us.”
A half a century of racial pandering, that’s what
One side always wrong, one side never wrong, no matter what
And now Goodell, Kerr, Kraft, et al are showing themselves to be white cowards, so afraid to speak out against black traitors like Kaepernick, Curry, James
The Pittsburgh Kneelers. I like that!
Could get traction.
“I’m for renaming them the Pittsburgh Kneelers!”
Could we start a petition at the .GOV site to do just that?

Makes you wonder what the Globalists will pull next .... /adjusting tinfoil hat (maybe)
This, of course, is idiot liberals and BLM doing their version 10.7 of domestic terrorism and liberal insurrection against the Presidency.
“I’m for renaming them the Pittsburgh Kneelers!”
Actually the other 31 teams had the kneelers. Not sure what you would name them for hanging out in the tunnel. That’s a tough one.
How about the Poutsburgh Kneelers?
