You can say a lot about President Trump (for instance: that he would be wise to focus all his energy on passing TrumpCare rather than on having a Twitter war with the president of the NFL), but man, does he know how to get the Crazy Left to show their real faces or what?
"Expectations were that Trump's remarks were going to lead many more players to protest Sunday. Jamie Erdahl reported that Mike Tomlin, coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers, told him that the entire team would stay in the locker room before its game against the Chicago Bears."
Let me get this right: the Steelers (except one player) decided to bash the entire country and the whole American people by boycotting the national anthem because of a few angry tweets from President Trump? That's how you get back at him? By insulting everybody else? Great idea, geniuses. No wonder you guys get paid to crash into each other rather than by, say, performing brain surgery on a patient with a brain tumor.
What's most amazing about this to me -- a Dutchman analyzing it from afar -- is that these men are highly paid millionaires who owe everything they have to their country and their fellow countrymen (who are positively obsessed with sports). Racism? What racism? When I watch an NFL game, I see that many if not most of the players are African Americans. They're getting paid extremely well, they're highly successful, very respected, every kid in the States want to grow up to be just like them... oh yeah, and they live in mansions the size of a small country.

So you think locking arms is still not a protest?
As Trump continues his attacks, NFL players protest by kneeling or locking arms

God Bless Alejandro Villanueva!
Back when it was good.
They just dissed 63M deplorable, bitter clingers, that can’t be good.
The NBA could survive a patriot boycott but the NFL audience is majority conservative.
I just lost all respect for Mike Tomlin.
Back when Football was played for honor and glory.
When football was a reflection of life and the raw expression of truth.
NFL films, had the voice of John Facenda and the poetry of the game and the words written by Steve Sabol.
I’d like to find someone that has the same/similar voice of John Facenda.
And put together a weekly pod cast of current events.
A poetic narration of the war that has engaged us.
Patriotic Americans of ALL COLORS had better wake up, untie and take a stand now before it is too late and this man's fate becomes our lot because "ONLY BLM", Antifa and SJW's want US on OUR KNEES and their ultimate goal is to round US up "legally", put US, your family included into prison/"reduction camps" and make US permanently "disappear".

I wonder if Rocky Bleier is cool with this? Who knows?Nevertheless,it shows how far this country has fallen.
I don't know your source for that, but none of the photos I've found show any Stealer player on the field to stand for the anthem, other than Villnueva. That includes the photo showing Villanueva standing alone outside the ramp onto the field AND an overhead shot of the entire field (with the large flag in the center) a Bears' bench area full of their players and staff AND the Steelers' bench area entirely empty of players.
A true American hero. He makes the rest of the overpaid, spoiled, know nothing, “take a knee” NFL pinheads look like the stupid jerks they are.
Curious to see what Rush has to say about his Steelers tomorrow.
They Lost! Maybe they’ll love their hero teammate: Villanueva more than they hate President Trump next week.
August Landmesser, the Nazis murdered his Jewish wife.
Good, just stay in the locker room, eggheads.
It was just something I’d read in another thread. Too bad if Rothlesberger didn’t join Villaneuva. I wonder if the stealers would pull this stunt at home? It looks like the Bears didn’t dare. As liberal as Chicago is, the ticket-buying fans don’t tend to fall in that category.
I have very conservative die-hard stealers fan friends, and wonder how they are handling this? Personally, I gave up on watching or caring about professional football years ago and haven’t missed it at all (tho DID watch and enjoyed last year’s SB).
Can’t stand for the anthem as a team and they can’t beat the Bears either.
