Well, here’s a suggestion: Instead of bringing Terrible Towels, fans should bring American flags to wave. :-)

NO—they want to destroy every vestige of what’s called AMERICA!
They hate this country, and they are winning I’m afraid..

> The people who are going to boycott already are. The rest are willing to be insulted in order to watch and support the NFL. <

I think you’re right. Everybody will complain for a while, then they’ll just get used to it. “Hey Marge, give me a yell after the flag protest. I want to see the opening kickoff.”

Would like to think the stadium will BOOO the crap out of them when they do come out but I think thats wishful thinking.
I respect Die Hard NFL fans as much as I do the teams which is not at all.

Poor, poor babies. They’re protesting and hating the only country where they are paid millions of dollars to play a game. What horrible lives they must have here.

“We need the military to speak up NOW before they take away the flag.”

You mean the military that lost dozens of high level patriots to 0bama’s purge over the last 8 years? The one riddled with feminazi’s and homosexuals and tracgenders? The military where the only way to move up is to demonstrate you are more PC than the other girl/guy?

I wouldn’t hold your breath.

Playing chicken. Afraid to honor our country and those that died so that they might be free to participate in football.

Me too. This makes the most sense. And no one is happy with it.

Trump should put out an order: NO MILITARY COLOR GUARD FOR NFL.

It is smart that they are trying to protest another way, but they are still using the flag to do it.

There are other ways to protest than to use the flag to do it.

I wouldn’t go to a game. I won’t watch a game. I won’t buy any NFL sponsored goods.
People who still use their tickets shouldn’t buy jack sh!t in the stadium of any team pulling this cr@p.
Sadly only $$$ talks anymore. Commonsense is gone. Love of country gone.
Truly afraid what lies ahead for our nation.

Steeler Sunday morning is a bad day to go grocery shopping.

It's not just in Pittsburgh. The best time to shop during football season is Sunday afternoon. There's quite few on FR that will watch them no matter what too.

why there is an NFL game in London?
I guess the zillionaire owners want a global football league or something - a few games have been played in Mexico City and Toronto in recent years, but mostly in the UK.

It doesn’t go down well with this Steeler fan.

I have been a Steelers Fan for a long, long time...

Today I become a former fan..as much as I love my Steelers..this is not a wise choice..You either love your Country that gives so much to you..and you respect the American Flag or lose your fan base..I don't need the NFL in my life, but I do need the American Flag to fly with Pride, Respect, and Honor...

The Rooney boys are now in charge since old Dan passed on, and they are Liberal as Liberal can get, and Coach Tomlin as well, enough said.

I just purchased three Steelers shirts..for $90.00 tomorrow I will return them..tags still attached and receipt is handy.. PRAY FOR AMERICA, A TROUBLED NATION..
