  • Alejandro Villanueva of the Pittsburgh Steelers is drawing a lot of attention for breaking ranks with his teammates, who remained in the locker room and out of sight during the national anthem at Sunday’s game against the Chicago Bears. Villanueva is a West Point graduate who served three tours of duty in Afghanistan and earned two bronze stars. The hometown Bears stood with their arms locked during the national anthem. #InsideEdition

    You’ve lost your damn mind if you think someone who served 3 tours and was a Ranger isn’t gonna stand for the anthem lol

    He didn’t disrespect his team. His team disrespected him

    Now, that's a man amongst boys. Good to see that someone is still proud to be an American. Great display of leadership and freedom of thought.

    How the hell is the Steelers coach gonna say “I wanted 100% participation from the team” when he had an actual veteran with 3 tours to Afghanistan on the team. What a joke the NFL is

    Why is no one mentioning that he served as a Army Ranger?

    The fact that his jersey is now top selling gives me hope.

    Alejandro showing respect to his brothers and sisters who served and died for their country. He's an honorable man! Wish there were more like him.

    Mike Tomlin expecting a military veteran to not go stand up for the national anthem is comical

    Ridiculous that he is being shamed by his own coach for standing up for our country

    Dude serves in the army and isn’t allowed to rep his country. Damn right he can show himself in the stadium if he wants to!

    Can't wait for NHL Hockey season to start. While only about 5% of the NHL players were born in the USA... they ALL stand for the Anthem
