Remember the words Charlie Daniels sang years ago....

You just go and lay your hand
On a Pittsburgh Steelers’ fan
And I think you’re gonna finally understand

Oh, hell. Steelers coach Mike Tomlin always impressed me as a tough, and good, man. I thought he wouldn’t allow this sort of thing.

It will be interesting to see if Tomlin stays in the tunnel with his players, or comes out for the anthem.

Every person that stays for the game are on their side PERIOD.

Dont care who you are and if you don’t “agree” with them.

If these fools can take a dump on the nation like this, then you might as well bring an American flag and wipe their rear when they are done.

I want to just see how many of these football fans on the right are man enough to be little more than some rube cheering this on, while playing lip-service to how “bad” these guys are.

Those soldiers, Sailors and Airmen who gave all from 1776 to 2017 and the day isn’t over. The owners, coaches, and players should be ashamed of how they are treating their nation.

Yep, better than seeing them kneel. I cancelled the DVR recording for today at the Bears. I want to see the TV ratings in the toilet and hope the fans stay out of the stands as much as possible too. I wonder how the merchandise sales are doing?

The SOBs can stay in their Gdamn tunnel as far as I’m concerned. I’m a Cowboys fan and the same goes for them if they Chicken sh!t out.

I guess the National Black Football League thinks there’s enough ghetto trash and gay white liberals to keep their franchises rolling in cash.

We will soon find out.

Liberals say that the flag is just a “piece of cloth”.

“Oh, hell. Steelers coach Mike Tomlin always impressed me as a tough, and good, man. I thought he wouldn’t allow this sort of thing.”

LOL Tomlin bundled the maximum amount he could for Obama twice.

The entire Steelers management and ownership team is progressive from head to toe.

I can’t believe Mike Tomlin would go for this.

That’s the end game.

Wrong. The end game is the destruction of this country. And they are succeeding.

My guess is football will no longer be national but international game.
With the US teams being frequenty fined by a U.N. TYPE panel for violations against humanity.

Sadly the Stillers fan(atics) will continue buying season tickets and keep the stadium filled. The Stillers generate a lot of business around here. Steeler Sunday morning is a bad day to go grocery shopping.

>>Will the fans support the United States of America? Or will they support a bunch of millionaire gangsta racists who hate this country?<<

Some Freepers haven’t made up their minds yet. They’ll just watch the Cowboys (forgetting that they have an opponent) or the Packers or the Vikings. One just now posted a link for live streaming of the Ravens/Jags game.

I remember when the Steelers weren’t un-American pussies.
