I give my respect to Mr. Villanueva. But, FUCK HIS TEAMMATES! I have nothing for them but contemp & an utter lack of respect. There's no way I could be friends w/ any of those pieces of shit. Ever. Disrespect for our flag & all that it stands for, not to mention all those who've given everything for it sickens me.
Hell, let's give that scope to him, and buy him a rig to go with it.
Sorry to keep coming back to this but...
Man I hope Alejandro achieves the icon status that Rick Monday has deserved since this....

His gesture is right up there with Rick Monday and the 1980 Hockey Team patriotism wise in regards to sports.
Cool, thanks! I had not seen that before.
Alejandro Villanueva said he never intended to stand alone during the national anthem on Sunday and apologized to his teammates and coach Mike Tomlin for what he called “a very embarrassing” botching of the team’s pregame plan.
Celebrating a little early, eh?

Shit, the video is right there on the page... You tell me.
All Im getting is the audio and its very muted barely audible, could barely discern it. its like his words were being distorted by swallowed pride and choking on the West Point Honor Code.
He is being wrecked in the comments sections of the few places Ive looked it up. Turn in your TAB and Scroll are typical rants.
The man did brave things and sacrificed much while serving. I find it hard to fault him.
He knows what the truth of yesterday was and if it is not what he rambled on about in his statement I think he will be deeply disturbed going forward.
Huh, audio/video is fine for me. Sounded pretty much like the team had a plan to stay in/around the locker room during the anthem, but he started getting a bunch of texts from vets and caved to peer pressure.
No video, all Im hearing is mumbly audio. Ill look around for it elsewhere.
So if he caved to "peer" pressure from vets why is he throwing them under the bus now?
I saw that idiot Shannon Sharpe trying to equate being on a football team as to being in a military unit.
Sure there are the metaphors of "being in the trenches" but when has Shannon Sharpe ever had to apply a tourniquet on the field or worried about landing on a landmine in the end zone?
One is real with forever consequences one is a game with do overs and instant replay.
This is the whole thing, i set the time to 3 minutes, at about 3:30 he starts talking about the texts and how he fucked everyone by not giving them an opportunity to not do whatever it was their plan was. He does kinda ramble on, though.
eta: fuck, 3 minutes are only 180 seconds, not 280.

“Every single time I see that picture of me standing by myself, I feel embarrassed,”
Tom Brady also came out & said "Trumps comments are divisive."
I think AV did something ballsy and than he was called on it by the sjw management of the Steelers. Im guessing he was pretty much told his career was done if he didn't provide cover and apologize for so explicitly showing the world how gross and disgusting the kneel down protest is.
Enormous pressure for a young guy with a family and getting the opportunity that only 1% of 1% of the population gets a shot at. Enormous pressure even for a guy such as AV that had already had the credibility of being 1% of the 1% as a decorated Ranger.
How long has he been playing? If more than a couple of years at his level, wouldn't he have a salary that most of us can only dream of? And if he does, did he do the prudent thing and safeguard it?
I could not work for an organization that showed such disrespect for what I stand for. Sooner or later I would find a way to leave.
