re: Should Racist coach Mike Tomlin be fired?

I have called myself a Steelers fan. I like Mike Tomlin. I understand what he was trying to do. The situation has spiraled out of control of the powers that be in the NFL.
Because they did not act early and swiftly as they usually do (see their response to the Cowboys' proposal to honor their fallen officers) - so they've taken a side. If anything, Tomlin was trying to split the baby - my best guess is that a majority of Steelers players would have stood, but a significant number would have kneeled or sat. Tomlin was trying to protect the team, IMHO, by keeping them out of it.
But, the time of staying out of it is past. They have to take a side. You're either respectful of the flag, the anthem and our traditions, or you aren't.

So spoil the whole bunch because of a few bad apples? Why should those who wanted to stand have to take a back seat to those who wanted to kneel?
