At the beginning of year and last year they all stood out of respect for him. Guess they don't respect him anymore all turned their backs on him

Probably out of respect for Dan Rooney as well. The players truly loved him. Dunno if Art II has the same cred in the locker room.

The entire Pittsburgh Steelers team remained in the locker room during the national anthem, with the exception of one player: Army veteran Alejandro Villanueva, who plays offensive tackle for the Steelers.
While the rest of his teammates remained in the locker room, Villanueva stood in the tunnel holding his helmet in his left hand and holding his right hand over his heart as the anthem played.

True American MAN right there

While the rest of the team remained in the locker room he came out solo. Tremendous respect for him.

I'd like to buy a jersey but the NFL would probably get more out of it than him.

Hopefully 100 more mentions than we will have about the people taking a knee and raising a fist.
