Title: Former Army Ranger Only Steelers Player Who Stands For Anthem Post by: Local5th on 09 24, 17, 03:06:30:PM As the National Anthem began to ring throughout the stadium, the Steelers’ sideline was empty. Their opponent, the Chicago Bears, were seen with their arms locked, standing in solidarity.
The camera panned over to former Ranger Villanueva, who is seen holding his helmet to his side with his hand over his heart near entrance to the team’s tunnel http://tribunist.com/news/former-army-ranger-only-steelers-player-who-stands-for-anthem-video/?utm_source=AFY (http://www.aesopsretreat.com/forum/Smileys/classic/grin.gif) Title: Re: Former Army Ranger Only Steelers Player Who Stands For Anthem Post by: Dan on 09 24, 17, 03:15:16:PM The entire football league is telling America to "screw you!" If they don't want our business, we can certainly find other things to do on Mondays, Thursday's and Sundays.

The only people saying screw you to America is trump and the right wingers feigning offense over something not offensive at all and continuing to endorse the slaughter and terrorism of their fellow citizens for being black.

What part of representing ALL Americans, doesn't he understand? Title: Re: Former Army Ranger Only Steelers Player Who Stands For Anthem Post by: Jw2 on 09 24, 17, 04:03:38:PM Bears issue statement on Trump’s comments; Steelers stay off field for anthem (http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/football/bears/ct-bears-steelers-trump-national-anthem-20170924-story.html#nt=oft02a-2la1)
On Sunday morning, the Bears released a statement on the matter via chairman George McCaskey (http://www.chicagotribune.com/topic/sports/football/george-mccaskey-PEBSL000780-topic.html). “The Chicago Bears are proud to support our players, coaches and all members of our organization to bring peace and unity together through football,” McCaskey said. “What makes this the greatest country in the world are the liberties it was founded upon and the freedom to express oneself in a respectful and peaceful manner. Through important dialogue with our players and team , this divisive political situation has unified our franchise for the present and the future.” Steelers coach Mike Tomlin (http://www.chicagotribune.com/topic/sports/football/mike-tomlin-PESPT00008856-topic.html) 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." of course, I understand comrade dan, who hates democracy and the freedom and liberties other American citizens wish to express and enjoy.

The TDS libs and the spoiled brat athletes with their anti American actions and statements are dividing this nation. Americans don't like being insulted and they don't like having their country trashed by a bunch of spoiled brat commie elitists.
