exactly right. Tomlin hosted a fund raiser in his home in Pittsburgh last year for you know who. Also standing for the anthem, how to stand, where to put your helmet, etc is explicitly spelled out in the NFL rules handbook. Everyone of those players should be punished for breaking the rules. It pains to say this as a person whose first football game ever attended (pro, college, HS) was superbowl XIV, pasedena, CA.
Goodell is a coward. He won’t be standing up to spoiled brat players and mainly because of the color of their skin.
