Alejandro Villanueva was the lone Steelers player to come out during the national anthem

[Rebelbase]

Perfect example of the way American history has been revised or removed from public schools over the past 30 years.

[Dustoff45]

but NOT without a fight back.

The moment it was all over

When you exert all that you have,

for,

Honor.

I have been a Buffalo Bills fan my entire life. I know how deep the football passion runs

But I ask everyone - Do not watch another game. Do not go to another game

This is a war on the Constitution and American Way.

Stay home

[Puppage]

Having proudly worn the USAF uniform..my respect and honor go out to this man.

[FreedBird]

Why give hard earned money to the NFL and anyone who supports such nonsense. The game is full of a bunch of spoiled brats who are wealthy whiners.

[Molon Labbie]

This guy is an American hero, not Anthony L. Smith.

FWIW, the cop that killed Smith was a West Point ring knocker, and was wounded in the WOT.

[GOPJ]

He is an army vet.

AND a very brave man...

CPT Villanueva’s story today reminds me of the plot of “Gran Torino,” one of my favorite movies.

A stupid, futile gesture like kneeling doesn’t require courage. He’s going to catch hell from his Talcum X teammates. What he did took guts.

[Puppage]

I don’t see any NASCAR drivers taking a knee.

[doug from upland]

The Cowboys should trade for him.

[shanover]

NFL is dead nevertheless. I am watching my team and I feel NOTHING. I feel I am betraying my virtues and if this continues,my sport watching will only be my kid,college and NHL.

[Big Red Badger]

It Took Guts!
To add...
He could “Take Out” any and All
IN that Lockerroom!

[CivilWarBrewing]

Makes me PROUD that he didn't ALLOW HIMSELF TO BE INTIMIDATED BY THE UNGRATEFUL PIGMENT-PROTECTED GANG.

Also PROUD of Trump! He treats blacks EQUALLY and trashes them when they ACT LIKE TRASH.

If a WHITE player had started this 'take a knee' CRAP, he would've been FIRED ON THE SPOT.

[Kozak]

So this is one of the rare times this Packer fan is rooting for the Bears.

F the Steelers.

[MomwithHope]

So maybe new contracts for nfl payers should be based on performance and wins plus fan attendance. Performance and commission rather than millions of dollars and they do what they please.
