The Military should significantly increase its presence at the games perhaps with flyovers to remind the ignorant ones what this is really about
It would be great if there were maybe only 5 people in the stands.
Makes it awful easy to throw stuff at players coming out the tunnel...somebody has not thought this through.
I just watched Terry Bradshaw and the gang, and except for Jimmy Johnson, they all came out foursquare against Trump, condemning the “divisiveness” of his rhetoric, while ignoring the disrespect and venom of the players.
They all mouthed about the freedom of self-expression in the United States. The players in the NFL can use freedom of expression to slur and slander and divide the entire nation, and we are free to express ourselves in return. It is our Constitutional right also.
Most of us do not care to be lectured on the fine points of morality by people who would appear as thugs when passed by on the street.
Will the Pitt fans stand for the Anthem then leave the game before it starts? We shall see how much the country has fallen or not.
I’d really like to see all these teams go broke. Then all those millionaire players could play football in their backyards, or on prison football teams somewhere.
Then principled fans should not attend the game. It will be interesting to see how many that is.
I’m done with the NFL this year. The POTUS tweet repeated what I thought, but the reaction from owners, players association, Goodell, media, etc sealed it. They don’t respect my country or me. Screw em.
wtf assh8les
I want 1 steeler with balls to walk out on that field and stand for the national anthem and tell his coach to fk himself.
I’m a Pittsburgh area resident and a fan of the Steelers,and let’s face it, Pittsburgh fans are among the most rabid in the country so they’re always going to support their team no matter what. I think this is a brilliant move on Tomlin’s part. He’s removing the team from any chance of controversy. They’re going to be focused on playing the game. No energy will be wasted in debating the issue, before, during or after the game. I wish Coach Tomlin would express a sense of patriotism but if this is all we’re gonna get from him, I’ll keep quiet for now.
I guess the NFL really does stand for Not For Long!
Honey, Let’s not take the Kids to the Stadium. Those Taking the Knee are a Bad Example for Them.
Donald Trump is a genius...
Isn’t Rush a big Steelers fan?
Boo the hell out of them when they come out.
Then just stay in the locker room. In fact just stay in Pittsburgh.
So the entire Steeler organization takes a knee! So sick of blacks and others with their faux racist crap! They are anti American communists!
