Good News: A Steeler Issues an Apology for the Anthem Protest
Bad News: It Was the Lone Player Who Stood for the Anthem, Apologizing for "Throwing [His] Teammates Under the Bus"

They're fighting for free speech -- but they're going to haze, shame, and ostracize any among them who don't join them in the Coerced Speech.

Here is Alejandro Villaneuva, Afghan vet (two tours), now being made to apologize for not joining in the Pittsburgh Social Justice Warriors' anthem protest.

He's now telling a story -- probably a story pressured into him -- about how he "unintentionally" exited the tunnel to the field during the anthem and could not turn back and re-join his protesting Social Justice Warrior teammates.

Pittsburgh [SWJs] lineman Alejandro Villanueva says the national anthem ordeal got out of control and he is taking the blame.

"Unfortunately I threw my teammates under the bus, unintentionally," Villanueva said. "Every single time I see that picture of me standing by myself I feel embarrassed," Villanueva said in a press conference Monday.

Villanueva was the only [SJW] player standing outside the tunnel for the national anthem before their game Sunday against the Chicago Bears.

Villanueva says he asked quarterback Ben Roethlisberger if he could be out in front with the captains during the national anthem and they agreed to it, but when he went to the front of the tunnel to see the flag, he went too far unintentionally.

"When we came out of the locker room into that tunnel, it was a very small area. There was a flag or something coming off the field so there were a bunch of Bears fans, coming off the field holding that going in front of us, so it kind of held us up," Villanueva said.

The rest of the team remained in the tunnel.

"I made my teammates look bad, and that is my fault, and my fault only," Villanueva said. "We as a team tried to figure it out, but obviously butchered it."

This seems to be a reversal of his previous story:

So if you're following this -- failed washout quarterback Colin Kaepernik has been grandstanding his lone protests for some time. No teams have demanded he apologize.

But the minute someone stands alone against the Social Justice Warriors, he is forced to apologize and claim -- probably dishonestly, pressured into lying -- that his gesture of honoring the flag was an "unintentional" "accident."

Question: I've talked about killing this league to send a powerful shudder through the Democrat-Entertainment Complex.

For those who disagreed -- any change of mind? Is the obnoxious escalation starting to make you question you devotion to the SJW NFL?

Clarification: I didn't mean to suggest that Villaneuva was dishonorable for this. I meant to suggest the Pittsburgh SJWs were dishonorable for pressuring him to say these things.

I was trying to say an honorable man has been pressured by an organization which pays him -- and could cut him -- into apologizing for having honor.

They can do this. Not all Soviets believed in communism. But they were made to publicly proclaim that they did.

As a soldier, he's probably well aware of the dangers of a soldier who is despised by his teammates. Fraggings happen.

Their free speech is sacrosanct; yours will be punished. Clear enough for everyone?

...

BTW, the San Antonio Spurs of Social Justice coach has now weighed in -- and he says you need to #CheckYourWhitePrivilege.
