Jersey Sales for Villanueva have skyrocketed

You need to do some research on what actually happened.

 

Research? He was standing there alone. PERIOD.

 

Watch Ben and Cams interview. Ben explains it 5 min mark

The sad part is I don't think that the presser will slow the momentum of the narrative since it is becoming a Facebook frenzy. AV is now the poster boy for antiprotest movement and the team painted as cold and callous for not supporting him smh

 

yes but i want to know who the 4 coaches that stood for it on the sidelines were. it wasn't just al out there.

 

He actually was being a team player. It is just that he cares more about his Army Ranger team that he fought for in life and death situations than he cares about this slapdick underachieving dopey Steelers team. How dare he?!!! A real a-hole, this AV guy is.

 

So, what about Tomlin's reaction and Villenueva being out there??

 

Thanks for the link, I would like to see video to back up what Ben said.

Regardless, no one on the Steelers started this movement, they were simply caught up in it. They regret what they did. I accept that and will have no issue watching them next week.

 

I think it was Tomlin, Haley, Rb coach, not sure of 4th.

 

What I saw from Tomlin was frustration. Not directed any anyone player, but at the issue, at the events that unfolded. We don't know Tomlin's take on this issue. Maybe he feels strongly in agreement with those who took a knee and disagrees with AV. Maybe he agrees with AV. Bottom line, he wants to move forward focused on football not this issue that neither he nor anyone on his team started.

 

I'm thinking about hiding most of my family's posts just to avoid the topic.

 

Ben and Cam asked AV to lead the team out. AV thought the team was following right behind him. But they got separated by people in the tunnel and before the rest of the team could catch up, the National Anthem started playing so they stopped walking. That was Ben's explanation of what went down.

I didn't quite follow their explanation. Are they trying to say just by random chance and chaos the one Army Ranger accidentally was closest to the end of the tunnel and accidentally walked out thinking the team was behind him? I don't buy that explanation.

 

So what would have happened if he played in the NFL before 2009 when they never did the national anthem before games?

 

Ben and Cam asked AV to lead them out.

 

I suppose nothing. Not sure what the point is? His comrades would not be watching how he handles the situation because the norm was different. The norm now is for players to be on the field.

 

But it wasnt so it is irrelevant to this situation.

 

Steel said it was munch.

 

I'm fine going back to that by the way.

 

sounds like BS to me.

 

The never said AV was supposed to lead them out.
He was invited to stand up with the captains.
Those guys are bumbling over their words.
Some serious damage control going on there.
I am glad that they're addressing it though.

 

Both guys are stand up guys. If they say that's what happened, then I'll accept their explanation.
