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.

And the reaction to his statement prompted so of the DUMBEST posts from my friends on FB.

So I wrote this:

Quote:So the same Steeler Nation that all day Sunday loved Villenueva for being a "real" American and "the only Steeler" they will root for NOW thinks he's a liar and a traitor and weak willed for going out and saying "what the team TOLD him to say."


Un....real.

Un...friggin...real.

And Ben's a liar and everyone is a liar because YOU couldn't possibly be wrong or overreacting or simply misunderstand what happened on Sunday or what led to it.

I'm so disappointed.

Current situation on that post? Arguing over why Trump is Orange and if we can call him that if we can't call black people black.
