Leave it to the virtue signalizing bullish left to attack the free speech of those opposing them while allegedly fighting for the rights of the “oppressed’ and “freedom for all”.
Alejandro Villanueva was briefly one of the most popular players in the NFL. But, God forbid an army vet and proud patriot be allowed to disrupt the new status-quo and respect the flag, and his country.
He quickly came under fire from not only his own coach, but NFL owners for daring to stand after being virtue signaled to kneel in defiance of President Trump.
It seems hard to imagine this guy being an “unintentional” participant in standing for the national anthem. Did he also “unintentionally” place his hand on his heart?
Hear his explanation on the next page during his 1st press conference following his headline-making stand during the national anthem Sunday.
Just admit it Ranger they had you and your job and career on the line and you don’t have no other choice then try to apologize to the people to make the team look better cuz they look like an$#%&!@*already
How is he a weak person? He was a ranger not a easy task mentally or physically
A person that apologizes for doing the right thing has give in. He is believed to have been pressured into apologizing.
Julie,That’s true. Then why did he?
He owed NO ONE an apology.
What a$#%&!@*
Someone threatened him.
I appreciate his honesty…but what an even greater shame to feel you have to apologize for your heartfelt belief!

I’m sure he was forced to do a public apology or probably lose his job. He probably has a family to support. If so I can see why he did it, to hang on to his job long enough to find another one. Honestly I think all of the NFL players will have to find work, take a huge pay cut, or just retire before too much longer anyways. There is NOT enough people that support this act of unity over the respect for our country. Most of the people that bought tickets to watch the Games or even the ones that bought sports channels to watch at home are cancelling and won’t buy again.
