For all those 'lol nobody cares, durrr nobody is gonna boycott, durrr' people, watch this video from the local news up there

Steelers store hurt by national anthem controversy

Phone has been ringing off the hook with angry customers, angry comments on social media, store has been completely dead for 3 days now, except for people who are coming in to vent their anger,e tc.

And this woman has nothing to do with the Steelers organization, she just runs a store. She's an innocent victim in all this.

Imagine what the actual Steelers' organization is dealing with. And you wonder why they've been backpeddling harder than any other team.

I think the Steelers actually have one of the most loyal fan bases in the country. I'm surprised they are having trouble.

I know the Saints are getting a lot of blow back, but they consistently suck.

Hahahaha

When you tell your fanbase, which is made up of generations of blue collar workers that they are privileged and oppressing black people...they will get angry

She is getting raked over the coals in the comments section. She sure as hell isn't helping her business with her diatribe.

I learned the hard way years ago that my boss enlightened me about - the customer is always right, whether I think he is or not.

I'm sure the players will take up a collection, seeing as they are so socially conscious.

Does anyone else find it odd that she didn't watch the first part game and didn't have a clue what was going on? I mean as an owner of a store that sells sports merchandise of your local teams I would think that you would always stay informed of what was happening with those teams.

What is amazing is all the billionairs with their hundreds of publicist were unable to see this.

If does not end soon the sponsors are going to be apocalyptic.

The stunt the NFL pulled last weekend may go down as one of the biggest business PR blunders of all time IMO.

She was doing her best to hide her SJW leanings, but it came out to me very clearly.

She is just like the contractors of the Death Star in ROTJ. Innocent bystanders getting destroyed because of the evil Empire.
