You can sit down or get on your knees to protest the national anthem, but God forbid an army vet stand to honor our nation.
Steelers coach Mike Tomlin is going after one of his players, Afghan war veteran, Alejandro Villanueva for being proud of the country he risked his life to protect.
The majority of the Steelers decided during a team meeting to hide in their locker room like cowards instead of stepping to the sidelines (as NFL league rules require) for the playing of the national anthem.
One man refused to be a sheep and play the liberal hashtag activism game for a cause they can’t even clearly define because let’s be honest – alleged police brutality hasn’t changed one lick since Trump started his successful presidential campaign.
And unlike the guy who started this whole controversy, Colin Kaepernick’s, whose activism consists of posting pictures of cops depicted as pigs to his social media accounts and dropping to his knees, Villanueva knows the cost of freedom of speech and the protection thereof. As such Villanueva is one of their targets.

that one player, the Afghan Vet is the only player doing the right thing. I do not deny them the right to protest but protest another way not when the flag is flying and the National Anthem is being played.
Typical jungle fever..why act like a respectful citizen when you can skate on your black slime…just another ignorant asshole
are they instigating a “race war”? ……Hillary ,Podesta.and Obama[born in Kenya?] ar they behind all this? Wouldn’t surprise me, but it is the Muslim Brotherhood
YOU don’t know what you’re talking about.
This is exactly what the rest of these imbeciles are thinking that when you’re an Entertainer you still maintain the freedom of speech. This is a business in both situations it has to be maintained for the fans sake you don’t voice your opinion as far as how you feel you maintain a script or a feature that the fan wants to see that’s all.
They are not Scholars set on top of a pillar that we bond to every morning when we get up.
Thinking lets give them freedom of speech so we can understand them better and they can give us their wisdom for tomorrow.
I don’t think so, they drive cars, they host talk shows, they chase balls around a field and up and down the court come on.
I can’t walk that line and I’m not that stupid. I am fully capable of creating my own opinion and maintaining how I want to structure any protest for my community.
I will give them that right and that freedom to voice their opinion after they leave their jobs on any particular subject they want to choose.
As the great Jim Brown running back for Cleveland Browns said I’ll create the situation I hope you follow.
What the hell has this coach done for America! Fire him!!!
COACH IS A IDIOT
Yes they are that stupid and hypocritical
Time for a historical boycott until they purge professional sports of all these rich ‘oppressed” cryababies
What an idiot
Steelers coach can kiss our collective asses. Hurrah for the one player with more than a football.
