[P.O.E.]

"The present-day Pittsburgh Steelers exist as a paradox. They have been lead, for the last 11 years, by a black coach who was considered for the position in large part because of the Rooney Rule — a policy requiring NFL teams to interview minority candidates for coaching and upper-management positions. The rule is named after Dan Rooney — the now deceased long-time chairman of the Steelers — who was chairman of the NFL’s diversity committee when it was enacted. Rooney was also a staunch supporter of President Obama, and Obama named him ambassador to Ireland in 2009."

exactly right. Tomlin hosted a fund raiser in his home in Pittsburgh last year for you know who. Also standing for the anthem, how to stand, where to put your helmet, etc is explicitly spelled out in the NFL rules handbook. Everyone of those players should be punished for breaking the rules. It pains to say this as a person whose first football game ever attended (pro, college, HS) was superbowl XIV, pasedena, CA.
