Well last year I would have been glued to the TV tonight. I was really frustrated with the kneeling but to be fair the Steelers had not joined in on that so that was my 'reasoning' for still watching. But now with the whole thing blowing up and the NFL's stance on it I'm done. Then found out tonight the Steelers have Antwon Rose name on their helmets. About 3 years ago Antwon Rose was a passenger in a car involved in a drive by shooting. The shooting was caught on a security camera and the rear window of the car was shot out too. The police located the car and a traffic stop was conducted. Knowing there was a gun somewhere in the car the office conducted a felony stop. 2 of the passengers jumped out of the car and ran. The officer pursued and said he thought he saw a gun in Antwon's hand and Antwon started to turn so the officer fires and killed him. Antwon was a high school student and there was an uproar. The officer was fired but found not guilty. It's sad that it happened but a few years earlier in a neighboring town a very similar incident happened and the officer was shot and killed. It was found that Antwon did not have a gun on him when he was shot but the fact remains there was a gun in the car prior to that (I think they found the gun in the car). The protestors then said he was a good student. Well your 'good student' was involved in a drive by shooting (victim was not hit).
So if the NFL and Steelers are going to honor criminals and potential cop killers then I have better things to do that to support them. And I am a die-hard Steeler fan. This will be hard.
