Woulda, coulda, shoulda, Benny boy. Coward.
He let the brave Villaneuva take all the hostility himself from his teammates and the Steelers’ pathetic excuse for a coach, who had the gall to criticize him for doing it. Now that its costless and easy to do so, he says he wishes he had done this too, in a small voice from under the bleachers trying to please both sides, and terrified that fans who buy his endorsed stuff won’t be buying as much in the future.
Let us not be so quick to denigrate Ben and others who recognize the mistake and resolve not to make it again. I give him credit for being one of the early voices to stand up to stand up to fellow players and the NFL.
I live in western PA, and Ben puts his money where his mouth is. He has great respect for veterans, and for years has donated dogs and training for police K-9 units locally and around the country.
Too late coward. Pittsburg Kneelers and the rest of the NFL cannot go belly up soon enough for me. And as for “my” Hayward and the stunt they pulled in London sunday, I will be doing my part to bankrupy the team, its sponsors, the local TV outlets that carry the games and all of their sponsors. There has to be a consequence for their stupidity.
At this point the best thing they can do to get people on their side would be to just stand at attention during the anthem - THE ENTIRE TEAM, no exceptions.
That would help healing, what they’re doing is just causing division.
Too little, too late.
