Quinn just said that many of the Steelers were standing in the tunnel behind Villanueva with their hands over their hearts. The question is, why did they not just come out? My theory is that they wanted to come out on the field but, in doing so, the entire team would have come out and we’d have half the team kneeling - the scenario they did not want. They were kind of stuck behind a rock and a hard place? I’m trying to give them the benefit of the doubt.
Just a thought....
No matter. Only one Steeler, Alejandro Villanueva had the guts to take the field.
