Steelers owner Art Rooney II sent out a letter to fans on Monday explaining
the disrespectful actions.. but not apologizing.
To Steelers Nation:
I want to reach out to you, the members of Steelers Nation, based on what I
believe is a misperception about our players’ intentions in not taking the
field for the National Anthem in Chicago. The intentions of Steelers players
were to stay out of the business of making political statements by not
taking the field. Unfortunately, that was interpreted as a boycott of the
anthem – which was never our players’ intention.
Our players come from many different backgrounds and are united by what it
means to play for the Pittsburgh Steelers. They are active in their
communities and participate regularly in events designed to give back to
those communities. And they appreciate the support they get from Steelers
fans around the country and here at home.
I also know that our players have tremendous respect for the members of our
military services, including their teammate Alejandro Villanueva. There was
never any desire on the part of our players to show disrespect for our
service members.
Yesterday, I received an email from a Steelers fan who said tell the players
to just play football. That is exactly what they wanted to do. They wanted
their sole focus to be on playing the game, while also coming together as a
unified team.
