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.
Continue to the next page to hear what Steelers coach Mike Tomlin had to say about Alejandro Villanueva having the audacity to be proud of his country, and the men fighting to keep multi-millionaire meathead athletes like Kaepernick safe at night.
So this was all about freedom of speech and to show unity? Seriously, but the coach gets mad that the vet who served 3 tours in Afghanistan took the field with his hand on his heart as the National Anthem was played? He took an oath to protect and defend this country and it’s constitution. He was expressing his EARNED right to free speech Tomlin. Perhaps you and others should learn what that right is about, cause evidently you, nor the owners, and we know the commissioner, don’t understand loyalty. This isn’t the first time the NFL has played politics. Remember 911 they didn’t want them to say anything then. Go visit a VA center and see who EARNED the right and who give you the right to do your stupidity buddy. Cause to me the NFL basically died yesterday. 48 years and i’m done with you and others like you.
Perhaps Coach feels oppressed? How about the Rooney’s take 99% of his salary and donate it to the Pittsburg poot. Then he won’t feel so bad.
Shove these statistics in Roger Goodells face. Let him try to defend the million dollar elite snowflakes in the N F L. Steelers coach should be fired.
Fire him you wimp. See where that will get you.
yes
Fire this coach NOW.
Best response Ernie. I went one step futher. I sent an email to Godell informing him and NFL sponsors I will not be watching, NFL football nor purchasing theor products.
Awesome Mark,they think we have to have them. Guess as more like us pull our money. They’ll see
I will help Tomlin get fired.
Football is going down the tubes quickly due to their anti American behavior
