Alejandro Villanueva apologizes to Mike Tomlin and his teammates for ‘throwing them under the bus‘. But was his apology speech made under duress?
Many are thinking coach Mike Tomlin threatened him with termination of his contract. The NFL may have played it’s part in this flip-flop where big money is king!
Alejandro Villanueva, a Steelers lineman and U.S. Army veteran, was pictured standing alone before Sundayโs game during the national anthem while the rest of the team refused to take the field in protest. His stand has made his jersey one of the top sellers in the NFL.
Unfortunately I threw my teammates under the bus, unintentionally, Villanueva said in a press conference Monday. Every single time I see that picture of me standing by myself I feel embarrassed.
We think this is absolute Pittsburgh Steelers Bullshit! Was Villanueva threatened by coach Mike Tomlin or the NFL? We don’t doubt it for a second!
What are your thoughts?? Comment below! ๐
Of course he was threatened by Tomlin! Tomlin is black and thought he could find a way to force his team to protest the anthem by absenteeism. If Alejandro didn’t have so many vowels in his name he would be labeled a white supremacist. I think the commish gave Tomlin a call and told him to let that boy know his service to his country doesn’t mean shit to the league. If he doesn’t get with the league narrative, he’ll never play ball again. Keep screwing screwing with vets jackasses and one day YOU will be on your knees in front of one of us!
