The Pittsburgh Steelers “butchered” attempts to appear unified by sitting out the national anthem Sunday, the lone player to appear on the field revealed Monday.
“This national anthem ordeal has been out of control, and there’s a lot of blame on myself,” lineman Alejandro Villanueva said Monday.
SNIP
“Every single time I see that picture of me standing by myself, I feel embarrassed,” he said.

Interesting choice of words: “Lone Wolf” ... Isn’t that how the Left characterizes muslim terrorists?

He got called down by the (black) coach and teammates.
Too bad he didn’t man up and tell them all to go to hell.
Understand a guy wanting to keep his job and not rock his boat though. Sure that’s why 90% of the kneelers jus went along with the herd.

How sad. The peer pressure against his righteous action must be really hurting him.

Not buying this. They’re pressuring him to conform.

Don’t give in to pressure by moral midgets.

Lone wolf, or being true to his West Point training “Follow Me” and to be leading the way? Or going where those of lesser courage/morals fear to tread?

I really hope this week marks a time when NFL players have terminated their own, their coaches’ and their owners’ employment in football.

Sounds like he is walking it back. Maybe he got a ration of crap from teammates, coaches and the owner. It’s possible, that he has been totally ostracized by everyone. Who knows for sure, but it will be interesting to see if he gets fired.

The syndicate that is the NFL can pressure any single actor to do and say whatever they want him to.
