Steelers coach raps Alejandro Villanueva for standing for anthem

“Like I said, I was looking for 100 percent participation, we were gonna be respectful of our football team,” Tomlin said…

“Many of them felt like something needed to be done. I asked those guys to discuss it and whatever they discussed that we have 100 percent participation or we do nothing,” Tomlin said after the game. “They discussed it for an appropriate length of time and they couldn’t come to an understanding, so they chose to remove themselves from it. They were not going to be disrespectful in the anthem so they chose not to participate, but at the same time many of them were not going to accept the words of the president.”
