When I read what he actually said and not the headlines, it is too different stories. He is not sorry he stood for the flag, he is sorry the other team leaders did not join him because of confusion in the locker room. The team captains were going to stand with him, but it got screwed up. It looked like he was trying to show up his teammates which was not the case.
Media gets it wrong all the time.
Maybe I got it wrong too , duh only saw it at one source

I gotta disagree. I watched the video of Villanueva’s news conference a number of times. He made it clear that HE made the mistake. He said that they were all supposed to stop in the tunnel, but he walked out a bit too far. Then he decided it would be rude to turn around and go back.
So, says he, I didn’t plan to stand for the anthem.
Is that what really happened? I doubt it. But Villanueva’s news conference was an apology tour. He was apologizing for his own behavior.
I was stunned when I first saw it. I am stunned now.
