I have a twitter account I've never used and just subscribed to steelers so I can give them what for, but I can't read anybody's responses to the team's posts. What am I doing wrong?

fuck the shittsburg steelers!

I seriously doubt he said that. Anybody going against standing for the anthem that way would be in for a shitstorm at the very least. He would be protesting against what they are protesting for...but they are doing it in the stupidest way possible that only harms the NFL owners and players...and their profits.

search #steelers

I only use the app, but if you click on the original tweet, all of the responses to it should be visible.

Google is your friend.  It ain't hard. 

He stated he wanted unity with his team and was dissappointed when he didn't get it.   He is a shit stain coward. Screw him and the NFL. 

Syria has cheap real estate if it is too oppressive here. 

OR the OP could just post the appropriate content?

If he really did say that what a fucking idiot. The guy that stood for the anthem can be unified for their cause AND respect the national anthem. That's the one and most important argument these idiots are forgetting.

So if you stand for the anthem you are now disrespecting Black people? A lot of people have gone full retard.

Here you go.

Yes.  He will do well outside of football unlike many of his current team members.  He just signed a new contract with the Steelers this year.

Tomlin Opening Statement: I’ve got a disappointed group in there and appropriately so. We fought our tails off, but wasn’t able to finish to finish the job. Faced a lot of adversity today, but most of it created by us. in the first half. I thought that we turned the ball over, you’re minus two in the first half, plus a blocked kick. You’re probably fortunate to be down by 10. We were. We allowed them to run the ball some. We settled those things down and fought our way back, and then wasn’t able to finish the job. You gotta give credit to those guys. They did a great job today, particularly in running the football. That’s unacceptable for us. We’ll absorb the negativity that comes with that. We own that. That’s National Football League play. You’ve got to stop the run. They utilized those two backs and really did a nice job and so I compliment them on that. We’ll assess this and hopefully grow from it and move forward, but make no mistake there’s disappointment today, and there should be. Ramon Foster went out with a thumb injury. Sean Davis went out with an ankle injury. They were unable to return. We had some other guys go down but were able to return. Well assess those the way we always do.

Question: The play at the end of the first half, did they explain why they reviewed that?

Tomlin: They did, but. I still really lack a little clarity there. I was told by an official that the half was over. That’s why we took our team off the field. And then they went into review mode and things of that nature. I’m not questioning whether or not they did the appropriate thing, it just was tough communicating during that time in terms of understanding what were the processes that produced the actions taken. I’m sure we’ll get clarity at some point.




Question: Was it a review, or just a plain rule?

Tomlin: I think in some way the play was reviewed. It was inside of two minutes and it was reviewed. How it got to that point, I didn’t get great clarity on and it’s nothing against Clete and that group. It was an awkward play and they did the best they could.

Question: Was it your decision to not come out for the anthem and what was your thinking with that?

Tomlin: No, it wasn’t my decision. Like most teams in the National Football League, we didn’t ask for this. This was placed upon us by circumstance. I heard rumblings of guys talking during the course of the day yesterday. My contention was that we would not allow politics to divide us. We’re football players. We’re a football team. If many of them felt like something needed to be done, I asked those guys to discuss it, and whatever they discussed that we have a hundred percent participation, or we do nothing. They discussed it for an appropriate length of time. They couldn’t come to an understanding, so they chose to remove themselves from it. They were not going to be disrespectful in the anthem, so they chose not to participate, but at the same time many of them were not going to accept the words of the president. So, we decided to sit it out, to not take the field, to remove ourselves from it, to focus on playing football. And so those were our intentions.

Question: Re: Villaneueva being on the field for the anthem:

Tomlin: Like I said, I was looking for a hundred percent participation. We’re going to be respectful of our football team. Man, these are divisive times in the United States. and it’s a shame, but it is, but we’re not politicians. We’re coaches and professional athletes. If those of us are individuals choose to participate in politics in some way, I’m going to be supportive of that, but when we come out of locker rooms, we come out of locker rooms to play football games, and to be quite honest with you I didn’t appreciate our football team being drug into politics this weekend. And I’m sure that’s a global perspective. But, we’re blessed to do this for a living, and so with that blessing comes responsibility. We understand that. We understand that we’re given a platform that’s a unique one. Many of us are called to maybe do things that we wouldn’t normally do because of that platform, where people apply pressure to us to do things because of that platform. The bottom line is we chose not to play ball today in that regard. Maybe we will, but today, we just said no.

Question: If he talked to league:

Tomlin: We didn’t keep secrets. I called the commissioner this morning and told him our intentions.

Question: Do you think any of that impacted your team?

Tomlin: I don’t. I really think that probably more than anything, it minimized it as a distraction for us. Once we came to that determination, it was business as usual. The big thing is that we remain united. These teams,this game of football is a unique one. We’re all blessed to be a part of it. We all get tolerances because of people that are different because of our association with ball. I think that anybody that’s involved with ball has a high level of tolerance, has a high level of understanding. We feel bad for people that aren’t involved in football, that don’t get an opportunity to have a brother that’s very different than him next to him that he has to rely on, so you gain an understanding. We will not be divided by this. We’ve got a group of men in there that come from different socioeconomic backgrounds, races, creed, ethnicities, and religions, and so forth. That’s football. That’s a lot of team sports. But because of our position, we get drugged into bullshit, to be quite honest with you. And so, some have opinions, some don’t. We wanted to protect those that don’t; we wanted to protect those that do. We came here to play a football game today, and that was our intentions. Thank you.

I plan to watch the first few minutes tonight just to see if Dallas has anyone 'takes dat nee' and what Jerry Jones' will do if one of his players does so. 

With wife beaters, underwear shoplifters, and assorted miscreants on the squad, it wouldn't surprise me if some do. If they do...it'll be interesting to see how Jones addresses it. Wouldn't surprise me if he hands out suspensions over it. Jones is pretty hard-corps patriotic.

I may just end up being disappointed. 

His PR agent has probably had a raging money boner all day today.

Second thoughts for Ben. Maybe he couldn't sleep waiting for the ratings to come out.

I don't understand how Tomlin could have been so completely tone-deaf about Pittsburgh fans and their values. 

This was 100% predictable.  Shitting on blue-collar values in Pittsburgh.  That will play well, for sure.
On the bright side, that part of Pennsylvania just moved a bit further from the Democrats.

Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin appeared to take a swipe at the Bronze Star recipient's decision in a post-game press conference. Tomlin told the media that, prior to kickoff Sunday, the Steelers held a team meeting and decided, though not unanimously, to not come out of the locker room for the national anthem. 

“Like I said, I was looking for 100 percent participation, we were gonna be respectful of our football team,” Tomlin said when asked about Villanueva ignoring the order and coming out for the anthem.

Pretty sure I saw him standing with hand on heart during anthem.

Time to change the team name to the New England Traitors.

Steelers Coach Didn't Want Army Vet to Stand for Anthem

If the Cowboys stand, not lock arms, place their hands over their hearts and not do the black panther fist, I will officially become a Cowboys fan.

Villanueva was the only Steeler that stood.

I hope Jones makes an example out of anyone who sits or kneels. Wish Ross wasn't a fucking SJW. Pisses me off

Just another reason to hate tomlin.  I felt he was given the job because of his skin color.  Shit like this shows me he believes in race before common sense. 

What fans, no one will show up..... NFL died yesterday

Another option is to not watch and then read about if anyone took a knee...every lost viewer makes a difference.

What a dipshit Rothlesberger is. I didn't want to do it, but I did it anyway.

Cheaters before cheating was cool...

Lol!  Ohio...

Me too...I'm afraid though I'm going to be disappointed.

I wouldn't go that far, being a life long Packers fan, but it would go a long ways towards me not always hating them....

On a side note, it was really weird when I turned on the Packer game (briefly) last night only to see Tony Romo in the broadcast booth!!!

I'll see if I can find the pic.  The rest of the team is behind him standing, some with hands on hearts.

Me too. Bunch of over paid narcissistic hood rats.

He's just pissed the Ranger made them all looks like a bunch of chumps.  

He would have been able to sleep last night if he had any backbone and made the right decision to begin with.

A bunch of pussies hiding in the tunnel.

My prediction as well

Yup, or if Jerry Jones actually cans anyone for anything

Would be better yet if the players come out to an empty stadium !!

Some will show up, but knowing the Steelers fans I am familiar with, and knowing many probably feel the same way, I Think Pittsburg is going to get a Pennsylvania fucking that would make Joe Pa blush....ay least in the PR and revenue departments.

You know the thugs are going to make Villanueva pay for his loyalty to our country and its combat veterans...

I hope he quits football and runs for congress....I would love to see a man like him displace Paul Ryan in WI but

there are thousands of districts that would benefit by having someone of his character represent them in the house.

The whole team stayed in the locker room except the one guy who came out of the tunnel. BR didn't stand for shit. And I'm guessing the whole "he couldn't sleep" feelings started after the backlash.

I'd almost bet that they decided to hide in the tunnel (for a "surprise" photo op) after the Ranger walked out there.

Here are your Patriots last Sunday at Houston.
