Art Rooney II, you sir, are nothing but low life Anti-American scum and vermin, just like your entire team of bozos, America haters and buffoons of the highest order.

They hid like full blown cowards just like, “Little Obama Pajama Boy Girlies” in the clubhouse runway or clubhouse itself. America hates you back, and your entire team of not-too-bright-deadbeats.

I’ll bet my last dollar that none of them know the Pearl Harbor sneak attack date or that their hero, Barack Hussein Obama, is the son of Sub-Sahara, Muslim, Kenyan Slave & Sex Traffic Traders, and his birth father was an abuser of women and a drunk to boot, just like most of your team is.

What bullshit.

Your dimwitted players got caught up in politics, and clearly chose alliance with Colin Kaepernick - who was spouting the vicious lies of “hands up don’t shoot,” the divisive notion that white cops are massacring blacks, and that he is an oppressed minority making $15 million per year.

These clowns need to OWN their actions.

They wanted their sole focus to be on playing the game, while also coming together as a unified team.

Sorry, you can't have it both ways. They can't be solely focused on the football game (which is what you pay them to do), while also focusing on how to make a political statement.

As I believe their QB Roethlisberger, explained, they actually thought about HOW they would appear "unified," actually considered and maybe even voted upon several options. All that locker room discussion clearly took them away from preparing from the task at hand, and the wanna-be AFC champions lost to a very mediocre Bears team.

Time to start withdrawing any taxpayer funding, federal, state and local these Azzhats are receiving from us for their stadiums, etc.

Hard to support the dimrats cause when you don't have the wealth to share......

Oh I see, steelers fans are not sophisticated enough to understand the nuanced message that was sent by the team at Sunday’s game.

All this was just icing on the cake. Fans for years were getting tired of all the childish antics of these players both on and off the field, stories about drugs and drinking leading to arrests including domestic abuse. Sorry, my rant.

“They just want to play football and come together to unify the team”.

Hey Rooney, the BIG LIE....Democrats don’t unify. They divide.
Which was exactly the mission last Sunday by the NFLPA and the players.

I do believe that Tomlin and Ronney 'believed' staying off the field would be a 'safe' neutral position......however they didn't 'think' it through because their focus was on how the other NFL players would react, ( who did want to take a knee), rather than how the fans would respond to their cowardly 'No show"....They were protecting themselves in their pretend 'safe zone' ..so they thought.

When it comes to our Nations Flag and Anthem...there is no neutral safe zone. You are either standing for it or not....there is no middle ground!

They choose wrong.....it doesn't matter now what their reasons are....Americans want to see fellow Americans Unite together and honor or flag and Anthem....when you don't then you're not......

Calling bull. If it was never your intention to disrespect the military and those who died to make and keep us free, then you stand at attention during the anthem that symbolizes fighting for our freedom.

OUR ANTHEM SPECIFICALLY SYMBOLIZES OUR BLOODY FIGHT FOR FREEDOM.

Steelers Nation? LOL - is that because they steal from the rest of us? And play us for fools while having their players give us the finger... on OUR dime?

To add insult to injury these damn teams get our cities to buy overpriced stadiums that taxpayers are stuck with for years THEN THEY SELL THE NAMING RIGHTS TO SOME COMPANY THAT KICKS IN A DAMN 2% OF THE COST OF THE STADIUM.

When 98% of Stadium costs are paid for on the backs of working middle class TAXPAYERS - AND Elite Companies name the place for a damn 2% kicked in, THE NFL prices tickets so the only people who can afford decent seats are the DAMN EFFING LIBERAL ELITES.

(And that was before ‘white liberal elites’ decided to use the games and stadiums WE PAY FOR to have their players kneel in the field GIVING THE FINGER TO THE TAXPAYERS WHO SUPPORT THEIR EXISTENCE.

It’s time for everyone to wake up

To: dan on the right

I know a guy who works in a building where Art Rooney has his private office.

Monday morning you could not get in the parking lot. First time in a decade the lot was completely full.

Obviously Rooney was holding a DEFCON 1 spin control meeting in his office. And THIS is the best they could come up with?
