    Our players come from many different backgrounds and are united by what it means to play for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
 
 Is it too much to expect them to be united by what it means to be Americans? No matter what you think is wrong with America, why would you ever turn your back on its flag? Shouldn't you claim it for yourself with pride and tell those you disagree with to live up to its standards?
To: SargeK
    You’re paying a bunch of thugs so shut up.
BOYCOTT!!!!

    No the main thing we can do is denounce the left’s attempts to destroy everything distinctly American.

    “Reach out” is a big libspeak term these days. Must be starting to hurt them.

    Rooney is a big time Obama/hitlery supporter.

    What a crock of BS. If they wanted to “stay out of the business of making political statements” they would have gone out there, stood and placed their hands over their hearts while the National Anthem played.

    So, Sunday your team will all be standing at attention with their right hand over their heart for the duration of the anthem?
 
To: SargeK
    The ratings numbers must be really bad.
 
To: SargeK
    You sh*t in your own nest, arty. Too late to clean it up with mealy mouthed, spineless drivel like that.

    More lame than lies. The owner, coach, and players should be clued in that standing and respecting the anthem and flag is not a political statement.

Yep. I hope it’s too late for the NFL. They have bitten the hand that feeds them.
