Far be it from politics to let us enjoy football this Sunday, it’s making sure to rear it’s hoary head into our coveted pastime. Here’s what some of your beloved NFL teams are planning ahead of kickoff time.
Your New Orleans Saints!
New Orleans quarterback Drew Brees says the team will kneel and then stand for the national anthem before their game against Miami in London.
Brees says in a tweet on Friday, ‘As a way to show respect to all, our #Saints team will kneel in solidarity prior to the national anthem & stand together during the anthem.’
That seems to be the most middle-of-the-road way to please both sides as much as possible. I hope the Saints beat the crap out of the loser Dolphins. #SquishTheFish!!
Your Pittsburgh Steelers!
“It was just a big misunderstanding.” Pouncey said of Villanueva being the only player to exit the tunnel and stand for the national anthem last Sunday. “I promise you one thing, this week we will all be standing out there for the national anthem. Trust me.”
“We respect our flag and respect the military,” Pouncey added. “We love this country. It’s America. We know there are injustice in this world, but to me, personally, football is football and that’s what we need to approach it as.”
Hmmm.. but will anyone sit or kneel?
Your New England Patriots!!
All Patriot players will stand this Sunday during the National Anthem, a league source told me.
