Pittsburgh Steelers Head Coach Mike Tomlin is against football players who choose to kneel during the national anthem. As previously mentioned, he considers them to be an unwanted interruption, regardless of the policies that the mainstream media may have covered previously.
Our evaluation was accurate, and players gradually either ceased the foolishness or departed from the team voluntarily. The final player, Defensive End DaJoe Barron, learned a tough lesson about who is in charge.
Unfortunately, you did not make the cut. Independent contractor. “Please find another location for your protest,” Tomlin likely stated. “We prefer to avoid any unwanted attention.”
Barron mentions reaching out to the Player’s Association for assistance, though they appear doubtful about the outcome. According to Art Tubolls, a representative from the union, the main concern in this case is the motive and potential for action. It’s puzzling why these stories continue to receive so much attention, and it’s difficult to pursue something that never occurred.
The Steelers will continue without Barron, who topped the league in tackles in 2016. He boasts two Super Bowl rings and even shared a Jeep ride from Fort Lauderdale to Miami with Drew Bledsoe. The event became known as “the ride that never was.” According to sources close to Bledsoe, the only purpose for including it was to meet the 200-word requirement for this story.
Thanks a lot, Coach Tomlin!
