What the heck is this?Another pile of bullsh** form a liar. The NFL ratings were the highest uin years liar.... 50 percent of people aren't doing nothing liar. Go kiss your master's a$$. Hes the only one whho lies etter than you. Good by liar... Write you BS in Rusaia where you and your ilk bewlong.
I'm a season ticket holder for about 25 years. I am also a Veteran of the US Army. What I saw Sunday for the Steeler Game was just about the most gutless protest I have ever witnessed and Villanueva magnified how gutless it was. I had to rewind it because we were just coming into the house putting some things away and wasn't really sure what I just saw. After seeing the rest of the Steelers in the comfort of the tunnel and shielding their accountability of dissent I was quick to turn it off about 10 minutes later. It took me this long because I was still a little confused but then read it was all planned.Sure if they want to lose a large percentage of the pathetic 30k who now the games have at it!
Polling today showed 70% of NFL watchers arent happy with the protests and 50% are shutting the NFL down. I just heard on a news broadcast that retailers in Pittsburgh and of Steelers merchandise are seeing a sharp decline in sales! Its happening!
Just this morning Direct TV ( we have it) agreed due to massive subscriber pressure to let subscribers cancel Sunday Ticket.
Do you realize how many people will stop watching after they cancel Sunday Ticket???? Huge #'s.
Today since Direct TV allowed it cancelled Sunday Ticket which we've had forever and arent watching any NFL games including the Steelers.
Last season we watched the Steelers on Sunday Ticket and no other NFL games.
Prior to that we watched the Steelers, the 1 pm the 4 pm, the Sunday night game, Thursday, and Monday night games.
Mrs Buffett and I are sports fanatics but now will pay for the NHL Center Ice for the PENS, MLB for the Pirates, we skip the NBA, watch college basketball and football, golf, tennis, NASCAR, INDY car racing, etc.
Ask Louisville today if "any publicity is good publicity".in Pitt's case any publicity is good publicity. All the local papers would be discussing Pitt and not PSU
Aren’t most Pittsburghers Democrats?
But don’t worry about facts. They are malleable.
This is the second best post I've read on this board today. i've read it four times and I can honestly say I have not one clue what's happening hereAnother pile of bullsh** form a liar.

They've been bent over. Totally different.Seems like they have been taking a knee all season.
Last season at the night game two kids sitting in front of my crew did not stand for the NA. This was right after Colin what's his name started kneeling.it isn't like the threat of boycott will work, nobody comes to the games anyway. It could help with recruiting, it would definitely bring national attention to the school. And maybe give the media something else to focus on in case Rice beats them.
Maybe have the fans hold a giant flag at midfield, if there are enough to do it.They should hold the one side of a giant flag and Rice should hold the other side.
The infamous Goldberg is back from the loony bin!!What the heck is this?
Call me stupid if want. I've seen this term used alot but what the hell is a yinzer?
That's a great stat as long as you don't take into account the fact that some NFL Network-only games were also broadcast on network television last year, or that ratings don't take into account games streamed on the internet, or that there was this little hurricane that hit during week 1, or that a Thursday night game featuring San Francisco (the team that started all of this) was up almost 40% over ratings from the same week last year.NFL game ratings are down 11% this year.
Maybe the possibility will get fans into the stadium sooner to what the players do, lol.
Yinzer was started as a derogatory term for Steelers fans who value them above everything else. Much like any put down, it has now evolved beyond its original meaning to fit the individual user's definition not unlike the label snowflake.
Obviously, the first amendment only applies in some circumstances, and employers are free to have their own restrictions. However, the NCAA has made it very clear that the players are not employees, so they are free to do as they choose.
They should do whatever they want, its a free country with a first amendment freedom of expression.

The fans should kneel during the alma mater to protest the abuse we've taken from the boys in blue. At least that abuse has been real.
And not all them that were shot were unarmed and innocent. Some were and some werent. They were wrong on both sides.Each young man or woman should do whatever he feels is in his heart concerning this issue. If a kid is not allowed to be politically & socially active in his college years when will they be.... So many of the Pitt players probably had very intimate experiences w/ aggressive police while growing up.
If people cannot see or imagine what must be the effects of seeing officer after officer be found not guilty from shooting death after shooting death of unarmed African/American men I do not know what to say. I mean we have recorded images showing these killings thru cell phones(the child from Cleveland playing in a park continues to disturb me thinking of it) & yet nothing ever seems be enough
And before anyone thinks I have some hard-on for the police officers please stop. No one disputes their courage & dedication but that does not mean that here are not some bad ones, poorly trained ones or frankly bigoted ones hiding behind that badge.
H2 PITT !!!
P.S. This has nothing to do w/ disrespecting our men & women serving in the military. It actually is a testament to what rights they are fighting to protect. Civil disobedience w/o violence.
That's quite possibly the dumbest argument that people use and you should feel dumb for using it. People say sports should be about sports when the things surrounding sports are confrontational to their own morality.Will be nice when this stuff is a non issue again. Sports are supposed to be about the sport. Thats it. Nothing else.
The entire situation reeks of hypocrisy. People are concerned about shows of patriotism, and rightfully so.
But meanwhile, members of the president’s cabinet are showing their brand of “patriotism” by misappropriating hundreds of thousands of dollars thru their repeated misuse of the nation’s aircraft.
But I guess that “Theft of Services of the US Government” doesn’t count when patriotism is being judged by the criterion of “who waves the flag with greater vigor....”

In the 60s, a protester that burned the flag was arrested and the case went to the Supreme court. 2 conservative judges agreed with others that his 1st amendment rights gave him the freedom to do it. No punishment.I hope that saying that they are free to do as the choose was intentional hyperbole that you know isn't true, because no one at the stadium on Saturday is free to do whatever they want because of the First Amendment.
you are the problemill be in the parking lot tailgating thru most of the first quarter so im cool with whatever they plan on doing for the anthem. i'll have beer in hand so proceed as you wish.

That's right, but where did he do it? The First Amendment says the government can't limit your right to free speech. It absolutely does not say that Pitt or Heinz Field or a private employer cannot limit your speech. If someone runs out onto the field on Saturday and exercises their "First Amendment rights" to burn an American flag at the 50 yard line they can and will be arrested and if the case is pursued they will be found guilty.
The First Amendment does not give people the right to say whatever they want whenever they want to. You'd think by now people would understand that.

It should be. They wanna protest over something stupid then retire and do it the right way.
