As for the Steelers:

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin explained his team's decision.

"We're not going to play politics," he said. "We're football players. We're football coaches. We're not participating in the anthem today. Not to be disrespectful to the anthem, but to remove ourselves from this circumstance. People shouldn't have to choose. If a guy wants to go about his normal business and participate in the anthem, he shouldn't be forced to choose sides. If a guy feels the need to do something, he shouldn't be separated from his teammate who chooses not to. So we're not participating today. That's our decision. We're going to be 100 percent. We came here to play a football game."

Seems pretty reasonable. Hell, he's doing exactly what the MSB wants - no politics, just football.

The Rooney family has a long history of supporting liberal politicians and liberal causes. Such a protest may have been encouraged.
