Tomlin made it public that Villanueva went against his wishes for the team
And we already knew that since Tomlin said his entire team would be staying back during a pregame interview. What was he supposed to do? Contradict himself and lie?

I never said what he was supposed to do. I am simply saying what he did

Maybe say they have an extremely rare situation in having a bronze star recipient on their team who had friends die for(the way he looks at it) the flag. Therefore he's perfectly fine with him standing for the anthem in the tunnel.

No but he couldve easily said..

In my desire to have the focus solely on football, I didnt take into account the importance and sacrifice this would put on one of our leaders. A man who has put it on the line for all of us shouldnt be put in that situation and will not be again.
