The Steelers acknowledged they bungled what they thought were good intentions to stay out of politics last Sunday in Chicago. They vow it won’t happen this Sunday in Baltimore, starting at the top.
“I expect our team will be on the field like they were prior to last Sunday,” Steelers president Art Rooney II told the Post-Gazette in a brief interview.
“Last Sunday was the first time, you know, we ever had any kind of incident with regards to the anthem. It’s over, as far as I’m concerned.”
There’s never been a protest by the Steelers during the national anthem.
