[h=1]Steelers to remain in locker room during the national anthem.[/h]CHICAGO -- In a sign of solidarity, the Pittsburgh Steelers will remain in the locker room during the national anthem before their 1 p.m. ET kickoff with the Chicago Bears.
A team official confirmed the news, which was first reported by CBS' Jamie Erdahl, who spoke to coach Mike Tomlin pregame.
The Steelers did not protest the anthem last year and had stayed relatively neutral on the national discussion, but President Donald Trump's verbal attack on NFL players appears to have changed things.
Team president Art Rooney II said in a statement that he supported the NFL's statement on the matter but had nothing to add.

They have a black head coach.
steelers fans are trash and their white fans fuck homeboys.
And they cheated in the 1995 afc championship game against the colts.
homeboy coaches crack me up. He acts like he is a head coach at a high school. " we are going to be tough, be accountable and play for each other" sure

Up until about 10 years ago every NFL team stayed in the locker room during the anthem and no one had an issue with it. Watch or don't watch no one cares but if what football players do or don't do (other than not cover the spread) has any impact on your life that's very sad.
What do black people want out of this?
Somebody should give Colin Kaepernick a job?
Impeach Trump?
You get nothing out of this.....Keep crying trouble makers.
You`re outnumbered.
