I could care less. But one of my best friends was born in a suburb of Pittsburgh, into a family of diehard Steelers fans that have held tickets for over 70 years. Someone who has been to three Super Bowls and will be spending Christmas Day in Houston, watching the Steelers play.

The National Anthem is played at NFL games to honor EVERYONE in our country, which includes veterans. No one disrespects anyone by refusing to stand. It is not required. The national anthem and the game of football (or any sport, on any level) are entirely different. Nothing connects them. Also, the actions of a few should not taint the actions of the majority. I think you are being oversensitive.
