I think they were just trying to take away the chance for their players to protest the anthem

To look around the league, this didn't turn out like Trump hoped did it

Who locked arms in their own political display.

As for the Steelers:

quote:

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin explained his team's decision.

"We're not going to play politics," he said. "We're football players. We're football coaches. We're not participating in the anthem today. Not to be disrespectful to the anthem, but to remove ourselves from this circumstance. People shouldn't have to choose. If a guy wants to go about his normal business and participate in the anthem, he shouldn't be forced to choose sides. If a guy feels the need to do something, he shouldn't be separated from his teammate who chooses not to. So we're not participating today. That's our decision. We're going to be 100 percent. We came here to play a football game."


Seems pretty reasonable. Hell, he's doing exactly what the MSB wants - no politics, just football.

Sounds like someone who is uninformed of the situation. Bless your heart.

I said this was best option, then no one from either side can whine

You'd think so, but then threads like this one get started by people who don't know the story.
