Villanueva clarified that he did not mean to be outside of the tunnel for the anthem. He wanted to see the flag at Soldier Field before going back into the tunnel with the team. He asked a security guard how long he had before the anthem was was told he had more time than he really did. When the anthem began to play he stopped walking back and stood there.


I guess the intent of the Steelers was to stay in the tunnel and let players either kneel or stand. Villanueva says he's a bit embarrassed because of the optics it is causing, saying he doesn't want to see like he was disagreeing with his teammates.
