The EFFICACIOUS result of Villanueva's singular display of respect for our country at the game yesterday made sales of HIS jersey jump up to the number 3 TOP selling Steelers jersey as of 8pm yesterday evening.

It's to bad the Rooney's and the NFL get a piece of those sales but it sends a message to the PC faint hearted and the lib-loons as to what 62 million Trump supporters think of their B.S. support of Cr@pernick's "oppression stance".

I am not a jersey wearing type, but I would buy his jersey and wear it, if it were a non NFL licencsed one at least.

I believe players (under their contract) are allowed to do such a thing. They can’t use any team or league symbols or copyrights, but can promote themselves.

I seem to recall Bettis selling stuff with “36” on it. The team/league can’t copyright a number.

Also, Brett Kiesel with his “fear the beard” T-shirts.

(((Standing for Anthem with hand over heart.)))

This morning, on my daily walk,
My neighbor and I had a little talk.

The man, in our morning chat,
Was a South Boston Irish Democrat.

Of course, with all of that, the man
Is also a big New England Patriots Fan.

But this morning, because of yesterday’s kneeling,
Has a different view, and it’s quite revealing.

He turned them off! The NFL!
He basically told them to “Go To Hell”!

And so, I learned, from the man so loquacious,
That this foolish fad is quite efficacious,

In getting liberals to change their mind,
And opening up the eyes of the blind.

God Bless America!

“The NFL protesters will go back to respecting the anthem when several of the players get their a$$es canned.

Alternative answer:

“The NFL protesters will go back to respecting the anthem when The Owners are teetering towards bankruptcy, creating deep salary cuts for the employees after allowing them to kill the brand."

Presidents Trump’s tweets have been efficacious in revealing the traitorous underbelly of the NFL.

Thank you, President Trump.

NFL prima donna’s are naturally ostentatious
They don’t know their kneeling is mendacious
When they take a knee
It’s “all about me”
As for promoting unity, it’s not efficacious

Ten days in Puerta Vallarta back in 1992 (when it was nice!)

Donde esta La Fiesta? (Where’s the Party?)

Mi Gusta la carvesa, por favor. (I would like a beer, please)

Donde esta el banyo? (Where’s the BATHROOM)

Yo estoy sin denaro (I’m BROKE!)

Perhaps the most efficaceous way to protest the NFL and still enjoy the games is to refuse to buy, or wear, their over-priced and licensed jerseys and other paraphrenalia. Instead, wear USA themed garments. Red, white, blue, stars, stripes, or military. Just a thought. Putting my Packer stuff away for a while.

I'm with you now.....use to be a diehard Browns fan but walked away when Modell moved to team to Baltimore.....

The Steelers fans wore black armbands for our last game against them before the team left Cleveland....I stopped hating Pittsburgh after that....those people are awesome fans, I realized that day, and even better human beings than myself.

This "supposed team" display yesterday really p!$$ed me off at the team players and the Rooney's.

Villanueva is a class act....his teammates and coaches need to take note.....but I'm guessing he was treated like a leper in the locker room at halftime yeasterday.
