I just cannot believe, with everything the Rooney Family has invested in their football organization, that they sanctioned their team hiding in the locker room instead of standing on the field for the anthem.  Cowards.  I guess it is a silly thing to be upset over.  On the other hand, I'm ashamed and angry.  This is not representative of my Pittsburgh. 

Ah, of course. I’ve been trying not to let myself get upset over all of this. Frankly, I think Trump has done more to dishonor the flag, the anthem and this country than any athlete expressing his opinion as is his right. But Trump TALKED during the moment of silence for 9-11. The people I knew who died that day deserve better.

Agreed.  Those who fought for anyone’s right to disrespect the flag and anthem deserve the respect of having them stand up, in public, and do so.  My issue is more with the fact that they hid.  IN a tunnel.  If someone feels strongly enough that they have to take a knee, by all means do so.  But do it where the world can see.
