Tomlin was doing what I SUGGESTED here on DP yesterday, about the players not taking the field until after the national anthem is played.
But...making a Decorated Veteran feel bad about showing his feelings...is just as bad as allowing the crybabies who take a knee...and saying nothing.
I love to make Liberals Cry, and Whine.
So, this is for them.

And now Big Ben has regrets...
"I personally don’t believe the Anthem is ever the time to make any type of protest," the Super Bowl-winning QB says.
Ben Roethlisberger on Monday afternoon released a statement saying he regretted his Pittsburgh Steelers boycotting the national anthem on Sunday.

people do get caught in "whatever everyone else is doing" and have regrets afterwards. tomlin is a strong personality. not easy to disobey him, i can imagine.
teams may have a problem on their hands next week. those who stayed in the locker room anyway.

Looks like Jerry won't be too happy tonight...
PHOENIX - The Dallas Cowboys plan to protest during the national anthem before Monday's game against the Arizona Cardinals, per multiple sources.
Nothing has been firmed up and they will likely come to some decision in the locker room. It may not be a coordinated effort. It may just be a few individuals.
One player said, "We have to do something."
Said another, "It's not going to be business as usual. He crossed a line. Something will be done."
Hundreds of players, coaches and even owners from nearly every team in the NFL offered some sort of silent protest on Sunday after President Donald Trump slammed players for protesting against social injustice and racism during the national anthem.
The emphasized portion pretty much confirms my suspicions regarding the majority of the protests over the weekend. They were/are more about what Trump said than the social injustices that started the whole thing...

I hope jerry suspends anyone who kneels. If it's in the NFL rules, as you said, can he suspend them?

I don't know if he can or not based on the rule I highlighted in the other thread. It may have to come down for the NFL offices.

Trump knows how to fire up the base. I keep telling people he is smarter than everyone thinks.

He got ahead of the others, then the anthem came on.

Friend just texted saying they took a knee before the anthem and all stood up when it started.

Yep, I just watched it. Cowboys took knee before, stood for anthem. Cardinals locked arms with coaches, owners, and some military.
