Looking at this one way, he's no different than Kaepernick; he treated the anthem in a way wholly different than that of his team, and made it all about him. He made the team look bad, he made the coach look bad, and he made the team look bad. That being said, the Steelers DESERVE to be cast in a bad light for asking an army veteran to not stand for the anthem. As much as I applaud his decision and his bravery, I'm pretty sure that the Steelers locker room (and 31 others, likely) are going to be torn apart over this. Fifty-three men on every NFL team, it's inevitable that some on each will have a family member either in the armed forces or in law enforcement. You don't think those players are conflicted right now? As much as it pains me to say, the Cowboys got it right last night. Take the field and lock arms with the owner and his family and kneel, because it's important to some of the players, and then stand when the national anthem begins, because it's important to the owner. And do it all as a team. That's leadership, and it took the cosmetically-enhanced Jerry Jones to provide an answer that satisfies both sides...
