One good man

To day the Shitsburg Stealers decided to sit out the National Anthem in the locker room. All of them except Alejandro Villanueva who is a Veteran with three tours in Afghanistan. I used to be a Steelers fan. Used to spend Sunday watching the games. I've found better things to do with my time, at least until Roger Goodell gets his head out of his ass and suspends the crybabies, or the league goes belly up. Yes, I make fun of the players, I make fun of every demographic including my own culture though.
So what happens if the league folds? If people quit buying the tickets, and boycott the official sponsors? Talk about a paradigm shift! Right now we have almost every University handing out "scholarships" to guys who for the most part are there for entertainment only. Many, not all, "graduate" with a meaningless degree. The few who make it to the NFL last a few years, then they too are relegate to the dust bin of history, many too beat up to hold good jobs for long. The many who do not go home to a life of dreams that never came true. They spent four or often five years at a college and walked away with basically nothing.
As for Alejandro Villanueva, he is likely to pay a price for his patriotism. He alone did what is right. That is not popular with the Socialist Just (be an) Ass crowd. They may target him for that.
It is my understanding that the SeaHags and Tight ones are also planning to be horses asses in front of America.
As far as the sponsors go, Budweiser is a big name. I'm not much of a drinker, but my wife likes a beer after a long day on her feet. We switched to Modelo. Lincoln needs to get the message. Unfortunately, most regular folks don't drive Navigators. Maybe their Ford line could use a little more dust? Pepsi and Frito Lay are the others that come to mind. I know there are others, not gonna tune in to find out who though.

I'm with you 100%. My once beloved Steelers are now persona non grata with me. Except for one player. I still love the old timers from the seventies. In fact I shoot trap sometimes at my rifle club with Randy Grossman. One heck of a nice guy. Nothing like the thugs, druggies and prima donnas of today. Well at least I still have the fond memory of them winning their first Super Bowl on my first wedding anniversary................
