I'd disagree if I thought you were wrong. They are at it; every single day.

Pittsburgh Steelers fans are taking to social media to show how upset they are that the team stayed inside during the national anthem.
“I’m a lifelong Steelers fan, not anymore. Not a fan of you, the NFL, any of it,” says Jim Heaney on YouTube.
Heaney posted the video of himself setting all of his Steelers gear on fire following the team’s decision to decide to stay inside the locker room/tunnel during the national anthem.
“And I hope all your ignorance burns too,” Heaney says as he throws his Steelers gear on the fire.
Heaney ends his video by saying, “there you go, goodbye Pittsburgh Steelers, burn in hell, Semper Fi.”
In another video posted to YouTube, Robert Williams of Texas posted a video of himself burning hundreds of dollars in Steelers gear.
“We have morals in this country. We stand for this country. My great uncle’s bones are lying in the bottom of Pearl Harbor. For this country, for the flag, for your freedom to play in the NFL and to say whatever you want to say. But you do not disrespect the flag and the country and the Constitution. So watch this stuff burn,” Williams says.

In a video posted to Twitter, and shared more than 15,000 times, Arvin Gibbs is seen on video burning a Steelers sweatshirt and hat, while holding an American flag.
“Super Bowl right? As if I care, what I care about is this country, what I care about is freedom, and it’s all about those stars and stripes,” Williams says.
“Never again will waste one minute of my life following the NFL or the Pittsburgh Steelers,” another YouTube video user says.
“I am no longer am a Steelers fan or of anyone that will not stand for our anthem no matter your political views or color of your skin. I hope your sport goes up in flames like my shirt did,” says Christos Kallas.
“Today after 30 years of loving the Pittsburgh Steelers I’m going burn my Steelers jersey . They have taken a great American sport that people use to forget there problems with and turned it into a political circus that disrespects our Country and our Military that gave there lives for your freedom,” posted YouTube user Michael Hesson.
“They announced that the Steelers previously weren’t going to come on the field for the national anthem. When they came on the field, the whole bar booed, the whole single bar,” said one caller. “I actually got up and left I was so upset.”
Thanks for posting the link. The likes vs dislikes is telling. (LOTS more likes).
He has now apologized to his teammates for taking that stand. He says it was "unintentional".
You can burn his Jersey along with the rest of them.
I think I was maybe the last hold out here last year. They can go *** themselves
I’m wondering if this silliness is going to spread to baseball.
Latino ballplayers are generally good guys and just want to play the game and not get involved. They appreciate the opportunity they have to play baseball in this country.
True enough, but I was a Steelers fan, and Kneelers rhymes with Steelers?
Pittsburgh Tunnel Rats!
I’m guessing some of it will; sadly.
I think it already happened. (no?)
Baseball is different. If a baseball player takes a knee, the fans can boo him and heckle him to death every time his name is mentioned and every time he comes up to bat.
You can’t do that to a football team. You just have to give up watching it.
Yeah, and his coach is all pi$$ed off at him. Steelers Coach Tomlin Rips Afghan War Vet Villanueva’s Anthem Stand:http://www.breitbart.com/sports/2017/09/25/steelers-coach-rips-afghan-war-vet-coming-locker-room-anthem/ The NFL and the media has said over and over that this is all about free speech? But Villanueva can’t express his? Which shows you this was never ever about free speech, its about liberals forcing others to bow to their will.
As a lifelong Cleveland Browns fan, my antipathy towards the Steelers knows no bounds.
But these people who are expressing outrage at Tomlinson and his players are my brothers!
To hell with the Pittsburgh kneelers, to hell with the Cleveland clowns and to hell with Goodell.
The NFL is now dead to me.
I can’t believe there are “men” on this site that still watch NFL.
Believe it, some of us are big boys and if someone wants to protest, we let them protest, I don’t like it but people have died to let them have that protest.
I don’t like that Trump has his daughter and son-in-law working on policy, I don’t like Trump working with Pelosi and Schumer - talk about un-american, but I will still support him. And I think we all know this is not about American and UnAmerican, it is about black people wanting white people to suffer.
I do not expect everyone to do the right thing and if I got my panties in a wad everyone did something I did not like I would have a lot of wadded panties.
CHIPMUNK KNEELERS
You can bet that Goodell has a hand in this.
hahahaha this guy admits to watching the NFL. How embarrassing
Apperently most of the black NFL players hate America, and most of the white players are too cowardly to stand up to them.
I modified comments from EEE and DO to make a new set of sentences. Please correct me if you think they could be better. Otherwise, copy and share.
The end-game of the NWO Leftists is to overthrow our Constitutional Republic.
The NWO Leftists want a Global Government; no longer the USA leading the way.
The NWO Leftists don’t want the USA to be a sovereign nation any longer.
These videos were awesome. I love watching fake americans go down the toilet. Hope this is scaring them!
