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."

Can we let it kill football enough so we can be competitive in soccer on an international level?

Too bad they didn't play in Pittsburgh today. Would have been awesome if their own fans booed them when they ran onto the field.

Well, that's not insane. But To be fair there are a lot of teams and the country is already divided.

This is the equivalent of the NFL no longer playing the anthem so they don't have to deal with these shite heads.

No quarter given to Tomlin. Sorry you fell for it.

So what exactly happened here? Looks like the entire team except for that one guy stayed in the tunnel during the anthem?

I felt I could get my point across without doing math so I went for it.

Until Trump poured gas on the fire on this non-issue of a tiny minority of players protesting there was a sense of division...but now, our leader, the crass reality star has further driven the wedge in and made the division palpable....over fricking football.
