The Steelers will be on the sideline during the national anthem in future games, quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and defensive end Cam Heyward said during a news conference Monday.
Roethlisberger, via a statement posted on his website, said he has regrets over the Steelers’ decision to wait in the tunnel during the national anthem at Sunday’s game in Chicago, but that the team’s intent was not to protest the song, the flag or the military.
Roethlisberger said that he personally believes that protests have no place during the national anthem, but that the idea was to show unity as a team in the wake of president Donald Trump saying NFL teams should fire players who kneel for the anthem.

Contact the advertisers and tell them you will not buy their products until the teams pledge Allegiance to the flag of the United States of America.
Money talks.
As a lifelong Cowboy fan, the Steelers are not my favorite team, but I always respected their “blue-collar” fan base reputation.
I hope their fan base understands the slap in the face their team did to them yesterday.
They act as those they are forced into some soup kitchens and bread lines, living in cardboard boxes under bridges instead of given millions for running around a sports stadium wearing short pants with a ball!
Give us all a break - it's real hard to feel sorry for a bunch of phony thugs.
Check Army football. They have jersey’s for sale. Just buy the ARMY jersey and have number 82 put on it.
Dance, Monkey!
Dear Hollywood celebrities (NFL),
You exist for my entertainment. Some of you are great eye candy. Some of you can deliver a line (or a pass) with such conviction that you bring tears to my eyes. Some of you can scare the crap out of me. Others make me laugh. But you all have one thing in common, you only have a place in my world to entertain me. That’s it.
You make your living pretending to be someone else (or play with a ball). Playing dress up like a retard* (gladiator). You live in a make believe world in front of a camera. And often when you are away from one too. Your entire existence depends on my patronage.
I’ll crank the organ grinder; you dance.
I don’t really care where you stand on issues. Honestly, your stance matters far less to me than that of my neighbor. You see, you aren’t real. I turn off my TV or shut down my computer and you cease to exist in my world. Once I am done with you, I can put you back in your little box until I want you to entertain me again.
I don’t care that you think the BP executives deserve the death penalty. But I bet you looked cute saying it.
And you? Really? I’m supposed to care what the director of fluffy tripe made for gullible people (or has-been quarterback) thinks of those who realize global warming is a scam? Get back into your bubble. I’ll let you know when I’m in the mood for something blue and shiny.
Make me laugh, or cry. Scare me. But realize that the only words of yours (or actions on the field) that matter are scripted (and irrelevant to me). I might agree with some of you from time to time, but it doesn’t matter. In my world, you exist solely for my entertainment.
So, shut your pie hole and dance, monkey!
No doubt he smells the smoke from the burning number 7 jerseys...
:D :D
Disagree. You make the direct connection between the Steelers and Villanueva. I could care less about the money. I would love to see a sea of Villanueva jerseys at the next Steeler game. Does the Army jersey contain his name on the back?
Looks like another Marie Antoinette guy, after spitting us in the eyes and now wants to eat cake, too.

fumble after fumble...
Hee hee...
This is what happens when someone tries to hijack the stage from someone who hijacked the stage in the first place.
Your "show of unity" gets lost in the uproar over the original protest, and you are now forever linked with it.

Get they while their hot.
When 72% of your employees are black, the owners are worried about a strike or some other act of rebellion. By allowing this to continue, they are now hostages to the protesters.
Don’t forget the Baltimoron cRavens!

Excellent idea!! 👏
Suck it, you rapist. YOU were the last straw before I decided the NFL was not worth my time - 2011 or so. The league is full of criminals, lowlifes and p^ssies. It sickens me that so many have kept watching anyway. Eat $#!+ and die.
You don’t have to remove the hot link. They’re allowed.
