Fox Sports commentators Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharpe criticized the Steelers' Alejandro Villanueva, a former Army ranger, for being the only team member to stand for the national anthem Sunday.
While the Steelers team chose to stay in the tunnel for the anthem before their Sunday game, Villanueva exited the tunnel and stood for the anthem with his hand over his heart.
But not everyone was thrilled with Villanueva, who served combat tours in Afghanistan before playing for the NFL.
"I think he was wrong in this situation, Skip," said Sharpe, who is also a former NFL player. "I believe he put his personal feelings in front of that of the team, and this is a team."
"If the team took a vote and said, 'this is what we're going to do,' although I understand that he served in the military ... this is a team," Sharpe continued. "We criticize so many athletes when they put their goals, their ideas in front of the team - well that's what he did. He said, 'forget what you guys said, this is what I'm going to do.'"
Here's the problem, Shannon ... yeah, the team did take a vote, but it was not a unanimous result. And, "team votes" aren't binding on anyone. Case in point ... if the majority of the Steelers voted to, as a team, go out on the sidelines, stand tall, and put their hands over their hearts while the national anthem played and some of the Steelers decided to kneel and raise a fist, instead, I guaran-damn-tee you that you two twits would be PRAISING the fist-raising kneelers for being true to their convictions. So, to you Shannon ...
Bayless agreed that Villanueva was wrong to come out of the tunnel for the anthem, stating, "I'm with you, it didn't work for him to come out of the tunnel if in fact you all agree and voted ... to do this as a team, to stand up in the tunnel until the anthem is done."
Awww, Skippy ... you already know that they did not all agree. And as for your "it didn't work for" Villanueva ... well ... as per usual, you're a moron, Skippy ... then why is Villanueva now the national "toast of the town," you clueless asshole??? I'll tell ya why, Skippy ... because it is UNDISPUTED that Villanueva courageously stood up for what is right and proper, which is something you two cowards wouldn't and don't have the cajones to do.
