Maurkice Pouncey, his voice crackling with emotion, apologized to Steelers fans for the team's handling of the national anthem in Chicago and said every player will be standing on the sideline when the “Star-Spangled Banner” is performed Sunday in Baltimore.
“We have to make it right,” Pouncey said Wednesday afternoon. “I honestly think we will go out there and make it right.”
Pouncey, an eight-year veteran and five-time Pro Bowl selection, was the first Steelers player to say the entire roster will be standing for the anthem. On Monday, quarterback Ben Roethlisberger said the team would be on the field after players remained inside a tunnel last Sunday when the anthem was played at Soldier Field.
“As far as I know, it's 100 percent participation,” Pouncey said, later adding. “If not, you'll all have something to talk about, but as far as I know, everyone on the Pittsburgh Steelers will go out there.”

TOP KEK

Too early to call. Jones said Cowboys would stand and we saw what they did.
At this point, I don’t care.
You can stand. You can stand on your head. I won’t be watching.
Too late, losers.
Maurkice Pouncey and the rest of the Pittsburgh Steelers organization can stand on the railroad tracks in front of a Norfolk Southern coal train next Sunday, for all I care.
Not interested in fake apologies. The NFL is history in my book.
Too little, too late
No Fans League, but don't lose hope -

Wise decision.
They just found out how much their salaries are going to drop due to massively decreased revenues.
A backpacker is traveling through Ireland when it starts to rain. He decides to wait out the storm in a nearby pub. The only other person at the bar is an older man staring at his drink. After a few moments of silence the man turns to the backpacker and says in a thick Irish accent:
“You see this bar? I built this bar with my own bare hands. I cut down every tree and made the lumber myself. I toiled away through the wind and cold, but do they call me McGreggor the bar builder? No.”
He continued “Do you see that stone wall out there? I built that wall with my own bare hands. I found every stone and placed them just right through the rain and the mud, but do they call me McGreggor the wall builder? No.”
“Do ya see that pier out there on the lake? I built that pier with my own bare hands, driving each piling deep into ground so that it would last a lifetime. Do they call me McGreggor the pier builder? No.”
“But ya f—k one goat...”
I think that they will have to go through many Sundays of no more crap like last week AND with no fans showing up before sufficient penance will have been shown.....
Goodell resigning would be a good first step.
But if they do that kaepernick lite crap of locking arms NO SALE!
