Louisiana Republican state Representative Kenny Havard put forth yesterday a proposal to cut all taxpayer funding from the New Orleans Saints after ten players did not stand during the National Anthem Sunday. “This is a state-funded sporting event–or subsidized sporting event, not fully by the state, but it is, so we have all the right […]

Well, this is disappointing. I would imagine there are going to be an awful lot of football fans burning and returning #78 jerseys after this. Alejandro Villanueva, the Steelers tackle who chose to stand for the National Anthem while the rest of his team stayed inside the tunnel, has had a change of heart. He […]

Fox Sports 1’s Shannon Sharpe, co-host of “Undisputed,” stated that he thinks Alejandro Villanueva was wrong to stand out on the field for the National Anthem while the rest of his team stayed in the locker room.

Army veteran Alejandro Villanueva, who plays offensive tackle for the Steelers, was the only Steel City man standing up for his flag and his nation today at Soldier Field in Chicago. Villanueva is a West Point graduate, an Army veteran, former Army Captain and Army Ranger, who served three tours in Afghanistan and received the […]

The virus that is disrespect and ignorance has managed to escape the National Football League and infect Major League Baseball. The first MLB player has decided to take a knee during the National Anthem and fans are infuriated. A’s Bruce Maxwell put his cap over his heart (only a modicum more respectful than the losers […]
