Steelers will not participate in todays National Anthem, as @JamieErdahl reported. Steelers will remain in locker room during Anthem.
If the Steelers don’t come out the fans should WALK OUT OF THE STADIUM.
We are well beyond the point of “supporting a social issue” now and are actively promoting insurrection and the NFL is complicit.
maybe this is protesting the protest.
Aha I had suggested this!
You’re all welcome. :)
The Steelers are pushing in that direction.
Mostly screwing with rich libs and other over paid players..so, like the kids say, “whatever”
It is amazing to me that the NFL community is so insular that they don’t realize the total effect of their nonsense behavior
Now I’m REALLY smelling Sandusky-type blackmail all over the NFL.
They might as Well burn a Flag.
Sad.
There is a game in London this AM and a bunch of the Jacksonville and Baltimore players did the kneeling stunt during our national anthem, photo at Drudge. They can all take a flying f**k at a rolling doughnut as far as I’m concerned.
At least we know where they stand and what they think of their fans
Stupid patriotic Paying chumps
**** the NFL. Just **** ‘em.
I can’t think of a “solution “ for this beyond the fan boycott and an eventual bankruptcy of the NFL.
Place your bets. I’m putting my money on “a bunch of America-hating millionaire gansta thugs”.
Hum...
The ultimate goal is to stop playing the anthem, period.
And they have just about achieved that.
Once that happens, it will be up to the fans to spontaneously sing the anthem.
That would be a beautiful thing to see.
If the whole team is going to protest ... then why even play the national anthem at all? Where this is going is to get rid of playing the national anthem at these events. That’s what the left wants. They want children to not even know what the anthem is and not recognize it if they ever hear it.
NFL should move to Canada or Europe and see how many multiple millions they make there for their unpatriotic thugs. So when it comes to our viewership NFL we will stay in our tunnels too. Scrooge them and God Bless Americans who love Him and the USA. I’m officially boycotting the NFL.
The Steelers are the most blue-collar old-school organization in the NFL. If they cannot present themselves for the anthem, then the entire issue is lost. Every sport will stop playing it soon. The Leftists are scoring a major victory here, and it has nothing to do with police or blacks.
Sadly you’re right. They will just do away with the National Anthem as being too devisive. Kinda like how some schools don’t allow the flag to be shown as it upsets some. That’s the end game.
I hope the crowd belts out that anthem and burns the ears of the legion of stupid and arrogant
