The Pittsburgh Kneelers have been defeated

Steelers' Alejandro Villanueva: "I threw my teammates under the bus unintentionally"

So he says now. Isn't it odd that he didn't notice that he was the only player on the field with his hand over his heart while the Anthem was playing?

That's seems kind of strange.

But you'll believe anything as long as it's negative, won't you?
 
On the one hand, I don't need to have the anthem played at my sporting events. If it is going to be played, however, I don't need to see the anti-America crowd taking advantage of the situation to make a scene.

It's cute that liberals who probably never attended an NFL game in their lives are pretending this is about police injustice. They piled on when they thought it was about Trump.
 
The connection is simple. The anthem represents the country and government by extension, so protesting the government allowing cops to get away with injustice by abstaining from celebrating said government is reasonable and logical. You're not supposed to like it and it's meant to light the fire under the seat of government to make their citizens less annoyed by these type things.

There's a hole in your logic big enough to drive a truck of peace through.

Who the fuck told you that "the government allowing cops to get away with injustice"?

Do some departments cover up bad cops? Sure. How can you equate that to the federal government, which specifically investigates and prosecutes criminal police shootings?

It makes no sense.
 
Wanting trigger happy cops to face justice is anti american? Come on.

Well then, open the barn door and let allllllllll the horses out. Let's have alllllll conservative and liberal sjw's bring allllllll their national pet causes for protestation to NFL football games.....better yet, get rid of the game itself, have 2 3-hour protest rallies on Sundays and another 3-hour rally on Monday nights. Wonder how many people would fill these stadiums and pay $100/seat plus buy hot dogs, nachos, beer and t-shirts for that? Once doing this would not be free exposure, we'll see just how devoted these nimrods really are to their "protests". Think Anheuser-Busch and various car companies will pay for air time? I'm sure ESPN would love to donate their sportscasters' time for coverage, too. ;)
 
Since our tax dollars fund this government of, by & for the people and we also fund our military therefore also partially fund the NFL who signs the checks for these jocks...I'd say some displays patriotism is more than appropriate.

"Patriotism" .. you mean like not wanting Russian intrusion in an American election investigated?

That kind of 'patriotism?'

At least one commenter on CNN mentioned the issue behind the protest while I watched last night. Let's not lose sight of that while Trump and friends make their racket. I'd ask the anthemites if they care about the issue, but I'm not sure they'd know what it was even about. All they can do is focus on waving flags and placing a hand over their heart for a song while telling themselves it's the pinnacle of patriotism. It's a ceremony that should be saved for government use only. It's not worth driving a country apart. How can we get through to Trump and friends? Thick as bricks they be.

even BAC has admitted the issue is Trump......it has been since November........
