My husband is a HUUUUUGGGEE Steelers fan but no longer! He even has a tattoo of the steelers. We are going to a game this November (Steelers vs. Packers) but it will be our last NFL game in a very loooonnnngg time.

Disgusted with the leftist political tide in sports. Yesterday, hubs came home from his second job and popped in a movie instead of watching football. It has to be PRETTY BAD for him to do that. Plus the pansification of football is upsetting to him as a high school player of the game in the mid eighties.

The NFL Commissioner (and Steelers coach I might add)
needs to be fired. NFL RULES!! The specific rule pertaining to the national anthem is found on pages A62-63 of the league rulebook. It states:
“The National Anthem must be played prior to every NFL game, and all players must be on the sideline for the National Anthem.
“During the National Anthem, players on the field and bench area should stand at attention, face the flag, hold helmets in their left hand, and refrain from talking. The home team should ensure that the American flag is in good condition. It should be pointed out to players and coaches that we continue to be judged by the public in this area of respect for the flag and our country. Failure to be on the field by the start of the National Anthem may result in discipline, such as fines, suspensions, and/or the forfeiture of draft choice(s) for violations of the above, including first offenses.”
Thank you to the Facebook poster who found this!

That was a very impressive thing for him to do. Heck of a patriot.

That took way more courage than what Kaepernick did.

Here’s one link to NFL sponsors.

http://www.pacificpundit.com/2017/09/24/if-you-want-to-boycott-the-nfl-boycott-their-sponsors-list/

I would recommend picking a few that you have used, finding an alternative, and sending them a letter to let them know why you won’t be using their product any longer.

Cheater Tomlin also stepped on to the field and tripped an opposing team runner. No class at all.
