Compared to comrades in arms, it's nowhere close and I will dismiss it as such.

And I've played football and wrestled, I know sports team bonds. I am also 15 years currently on active duty, I can and will make the comparison.

This entire thing seems to have your skivvies in quite a twist. It's pretty ironic you're fighting for their right to kneel during the anthem.

Again, I do not fault the Steelers for giving Villanueva shit for that. Check page one, I was with him 100% before seeing the pic of his entire team standing behind him and some still with their hands over their heart like he was. He just chose to go a few feet ahead. He made the choice, and I don't fault him for that either.

He's a man of honor and principles. He realizes he lives in a great country and it's sad that so many rich assholes take that for granted. I love that he wasn't bullied into doing the PC thing.

Except he probably collectively agreed with all of them to stay in the tunnel (as we see in the pic), but he went a few feet ahead to be the lone visible player.

Good thing you can read his mind and tell us how it went down.

Thank you, Three Eyed Raven.

I wasn't aware you needed to be the Thee Eyed Raven to read and comprehend articles. Maybe you should read what a few of his teammates said about being surprised.

Thank you, Hodor (minus the big dick).

I know what I fight for, I took the Oath. I support anyone's right to peacefully protest. I don't have to agree with, or remain silent in my disagreement with their position.
 
Trump wants to blow this up to distract all the poor whites who voted for him from the fact that he can't follow through on any of his campaign promises.
 
Think I'm gonna buy myself a Villanueva jersey

So? He served his country why can't he stand for the anthem? This whole thing is fucking retarded. Want to sit on the bench or wait in the locker room and hide? By all means do it.

It's ironic that the team that "couldn't decide how to protest" lost the game. Maybe they should focus on playing the sport.

lmao. Where did I say anything about the protest. Looks like you need a brisk walk.

This. It's not coincidence that it's happening while the latest ObamaCare repeal plan fell on it's face and after Sept 30th they'll need 60 votes (an impossible number) to do it

As a Pack fan I blame TT not resigning guys like Heyward, Sitton, and Lang.

Who are you willing to give up to sign them? $18 million on this season's cap. They all got 3 year deals. We have $11 million in cap space, maybe to try to sign a free agent if someone becomes available and also to cover anyone brought in to cover for injured players. also provides money to re sign players next season.

If we used every penny available under the cap we still need $7 million more. Do we cut 14 low paid players? Can't do that because we have to keep 53 on the roster. Can't cut a higher paid player because the dead cap hits are too high, some would cost more to cut than to keep. A GM really has an impossible job to find and keep talent.

Exactly. Trump supporters need to ask themselves whether angry tweets directed toward NFL players are a substitute for the health care plan they were promised when they voted for him.
 
good thing PUO is still asleep. This whole kneeling thing might've made his high blood pressure shoot through the roof.
 
I really dobut any Cards player will kneel. It would be interesting to see though how tonight goes.


I need a high scoring game. I want AZ to win but need their defense to give up some points cuz my opponent in fantasy has AZ def lmao
