Sorry you should have thought about the consequences for being a piece of shite.

"They intended just to play football."

Okay, so why even bring politics into it by staying in the locker room? That doesn't sound like a unifying message.

Of course. That's why every Prog in existence on this site is here today to mock everyone. This too is backfiring.

yeah there's no explanation that's going to turn that into a winner

the only winning option is "we should have gone out and stood. we fricked up. we're sorry."

but the egos on these guys combined with Trump Derangement Syndrome permeating their social circles makes that the last option...it's not even an option

A friend of mine lived in Pitt for a while. He said the fans are like LSU x20. Losing their fan base would be a huge blow to the city.

The intentions of teh Steelers players were to stay out of the business of making political statements


Even if true, it's a HUGE miscalculation to think that boycotting the anthem would be viewed this way.

The reality is that, standing for the anthem was the "non political" choice. The problem was that someone, not sure who, let their internal feelings get in the way from recognizing this very obvious truth.

If what he's saying is true, it's one of the biggest PR blunders ever. And, he should apologize for that blunder...rather than simply explain it. Saying you didn't mean to be offensive doesn't absolve you from being offensive...especially if the large majority of people perceived your action as a boycott.

This letter falls short, IMO.

NT74, Rakim, and Displaced Cucky eased off a bit.

He damn well should be. If he doesn't get his players to reflect the sentiment of the city, he could have a real problem on his hands.
