No! He is doing what he felt was RIGHT. The Steelers organization is WRONG.

None of them were wrong. They both did what they felt was right. That IS their right. No fault on this guy imho.

I say the Steelers are wrong because Villanueva clearly got backlash from players, coaches, etc.. for his decision. That...is what's WRONG.

This is sad. He is the only one doing the right thing

I respectfully disagree. They all did the right thing. Those who try to take away those rights are the ones doing wrong.

They have a right to protest. Not at work. Not in a family themed business environment. I can't curse if I work at Disney.

So they can't protest in a "family themed environment" but it's totally okay for #dotard to corrupt the minds of thousands of Boy Scouts? K.

They can't protest at work. Can't protest in family themed league. And out POTUS is the most patriotic person I have seen. Amazing

How come no one is talking about how to fix the problem that started the protest in the first place?

Bingo

Cuz the protests were done on the wrong platform hence why everyone is mad, i get their point to kneel but its not solving anything, so sad!

We had a black president for 8 years. This is not about racial inequality.

Exactly! It's about perpetuating victimhood!

What problem would that be? And how does disrespecting the symbols of this great country solve that problem?

Where was the outrage during Obama admin? It's not a new issue. 16 blacks killed by cops last yr, 2400 blacks killed by blacks. #BoycottNFL

Nothing to apologize for. He did what was right for him. He can still stand and at the same time support his teammates.

Now that I can totally agree with

Can't believe he's apologizing for standing for our flag and country. Wow. Sad day

Very sad day in America when someone needs to apologize for standing up for our country!
