How about those Steelers?

[hjmick]

Apparently, in an effort to avoid controversy(?), the Steelers will be opting to remain in the locker room during the national anthem today...


BALTIMORE (WJZ)– The Pittsburgh Steelers will not take the field during the national anthem Sunday after a series of comments made by President Donald Trump, according to CBS Sports...

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin told CBS Sports that the team will not participate in the national anthem prior to Sunday’s game against the Bears in Chicago. The Steelers will remain in the locker room.


Pittsburgh Steelers To Remain Inside Locker Room During National Anthem


Now, I support their right to do this, though I do not agree with the decision. Personally, I think it is far more disrespectful than taking a knee on the sideline.

So the question is, which approach is more disrespectful to your mind? Taking a knee or not appearing at all?

Will any player disobey tomlin and come out to respect the flag?

This is all a calculated distraction once again from Trump. Dude just can't help himself.
