Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin indicated Sunday night that he did not want offensive tackle Alejandro Villanueva to stand for the national anthem, instead of sitting it out with the rest of his teammates.
Villanueva, a former Army Ranger who served three tours in Afghanistan, was the only Steelers player to stand for the anthem. While Villanueva stood in the tunnel, hand over his heart, the rest of the team remained in the locker room in protest of President Trump’s comments that players who kneel during the national anthem should be fired.

WATCH:
Tomlin said in a post-game press conference that he was looking for “100 percent participation” in whatever course of action the team took during the national anthem.
When asked by a reporter about Villanueva coming out for the anthem, Tomlin said, “Like I said, I was looking for 100 percent participation, we were gonna be respectful of our football team.”
Villaneuva played in college at West Point Military Academy before going on to become an Army Ranger. He served three tours in Afghanistan and was awarded the Bronze Star Medal for Valor. He signed with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2014, before later joining the Steelers.
Who says???
Tomlin is just upset because someone showed people what real courage looks like.

I’d be fine if Tomlin croaked on the sidelines. I hate that anyone ever died so that sorry ass pos could make a lot of money in this nation.
LOL. I stand corrected.
how do you do a trademark?

Bump
It will be interesting to see how this man is treated now.
The coach has already telegraphed that he disapproved of his standing for the anthem.
Oh, and Tomlin is a bullying thug.
Right? This is the left.
“WE HAVE FREEDOM TO KNEEL”
Someone doesn’t kneel
“HOW DARE HE”
Exactly.
The rest of the players look really small for what they did today and Tomlin is upset that he made himself look like an idiot too when this brave man didn’t abide by his idiotic request.
Jerry Jones has probably already decided that Villanueva would look great in a Dallas Cowboys uniform.
Isn’t the “claim” by the NFL anti American protesters that the players have “a right” to their opinions? Doesn’t Alejandro have a “right” to his own opinion too? If Tomlin can ask for a 100% participation to disrespect America, can he not ask for a 100% participation to RESPECT America? This makes me MORE disgusted with the NFL!
Trade him for that punk, Ezekiel Elliott.
A Hispanic American patriot...I might add!!!
We need to help rehabilitate folks until the NFL non-patriotic infection is healed!"
The NFL infections are like an addicting combination of the worst African STD's combined with a DC Swamp brain killing meningitis with new infections every weekend and on Thursday night. That doesn’t include the countless hours of re runs each week before and after each game which re infects the NFL victims even on non game days.

Yes indeed. Break it up into several different legumes.
