He is a true Patriot. He does not behave like a spoiled brat, who gets paid too much for playing a silly game.

Of course he didn't take a knee. Alejandro Villanueva is a West Point graduate, was a captain in the U.S. Army, and served three tours in Afghanistan.
I can guarantee you that President Trump is going to be highlighting this guy's decision to stand out there for the national anthem when nobody else on his team would.

Steelers support violence and milling of US citizens. Anyone ask Dan Rooney what he thinks?

The camera did not show Ben standing. But it did show him come out on the field with the rest of the team, after the anthem was played. Did I miss something?
