Now help us decent members of Steeler Nation out, [WaPo link] and give us the views of a sane member of our football team:
Before Alejandro Villanueva stood alone, he discussed Colin Kaepernick at training camp
The whole national anthem thing, I actually don’t do it for America or whatnot. I do it because that flag that I see when the national anthem is being played is the same flag that soldiers I served with and I wear. We do it for each other when we serve in every single war that our country is ever going to be in because of the man to the left and right. Not for other reasons, not for the political ideas of one man, not for the sentiments of a political administration. Just for the guy from the left and right. I think that after this year has been settled, if somebody has a different opinion, I’m not in the business of convincing America to be more patriotic. If this is what America wants to be, let it go.
Steelers player: I 'unintentionally' made my team look bad by appearing for anthem
The only Pittsburgh Steelers player who came out of the locker room for the national anthem during the team’s game Sunday said he “unintentionally” made his teammates look bad.
Alejandro Villanueva said he “made my teammates look bad, and that is my fault only,” according to a local Pittsburgh CBS affiliate…
He added that he is fine with players that sit or kneel during the national anthem but that he has “nothing to comment about what the president says.”
“We as a team tried to figure it out, obviously we butchered it, I’m not gonna pretend I have some kind of righteous voice,” Villanueva said.
Asshole ? Or Stupid?
Stupid asshole?
I will never not resent the Green Bay Packers for the fact that they got Aaron Rodgers and my team has…this asshole FFS.

All the Trump supporters that thought he was making a statement for them are going to be so sad when they find out what his views really are.

A lot of people seem to think that it is protesting the flag and "our brave men and women in uniform".
