Villanueva gets it.
“People who are taking a knee are not saying anything negative about the military, not saying anything negative about the flag,” Mr. Villenueva said. “They’re just trying to protest the fact there’s some injustices in America. For people that stand up for the national anthem, it doesn’t mean they don’t believe there are these racial injustices. They’re just trying to do the right thing.

Mike Tomlin: Alejandro Villanueva has 'nothing to apologize for'
“So we as a team tried to figure it out. Obviously butchered it … I can’t tell you that I know what my teammates have gone through. So I’m not going to pretend I have the righteous voice, telling you that you should stand up for the anthem. It is protected by our Constitution.”

Fun flashback:
Clinton stops at Tomlin's house
It became an even more notable time for Mike Tomlin when Hillary Clinton, the Democratic Party’s presumptive nominee for president, visited his home for a luncheon fundraiser Tuesday after her appearance on the South Side.
Or at least it was notable for Kiya Tomlin and their three children. The Steelers coach remained at the team facility coaching his team while Mrs. Clinton paid her visit to his home.
“My wife was all smiles and really that’s ultimately what’s most important,” the coach said after practice Wednesday.
