OTOH, Iggles fans would most likely respond to their players pulling this kind of horse**** with, “We feel your pain boys” ... ?
No more sports in this household. I’m too busy moving weights up & down myself to watch this ....

“Stupid fans are so desparate for meaning in their lives that they will continue to cheer for multi-millionaires who would sooner spit in their faces.”


LOVE THIS POST!!!

Its time to take sides. This is gonna get worse and maybe, just maybe, it will lead to finally dealing with the REAL issue. We are not United anymore. We can’t continue that we are. Do we want to live with the left and what they are? They HATE us. Always have. I personally think that they want to kill most of us. They have that much hatred. What are we as conservatives finally gonna do about it?

So, hiding like cowards in their locker room makes it all OK? Not by a long shot. We still know they are disgusting un-American SOBs.

Wonder if Steelers fans attending the game and appalled by this conduct would be willing to break out into the National Anthem during the game, say during really important plays, to get a message across.

I will be watching NASCAR where they stand for the anthem after they say a prayer.

This is very smart of the Steelers. More teams should do the same. Lots of college teams do this. Staying in the tunnel doesn’t give the players the opportunity to make idiots of themselves.

The NA is going away count on it. The owners won’t even acknowledge Trump has a point. Instead they are completely siding with the idiot players, calling Trump divisive. As if kneeling, turning your back to the flag and offending millions of people is not. F the NFL.

Why? Tomlin is a huge Obama fan and SJW. Also Steeler’s press release quoted Tomlin as saying “We're not participating in the anthem today”.

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

Somebody get Jack Lambert in there, to knock some sense into those ungrateful pussies.
