Couch Chat: Is This Taking The Higher Road?

The Dallas Cowboys decided to stand together… locking arms and kneeling before the National Anthem. They said, they did it to take the high road, when it came to addressing President Trump’s comments about protests.

There’s also still lots of reaction to this Steeler’s Player… standing along for the National Anthem Sunday, while the rest of team stayed in the tunnel.

This morning the player says, it’s a big misunderstanding.

The NFL fans are now saying Steelers Couch, Mike Tomlin threw his player under the bus! When asked about the one player standing, Tomlin said, “Like I Said, I was looking for 100% participation, we were gonna be respectful of our football team.” Pittsburgh player, Alejandro Villanueva is a veteran who served three tours in Afghanistan as an Army Ranger. He now has the best selling jersey in the NFL.

How can the protests affect team morale?
