My team, "MY TEAM!", the Pittsburgh Kneelers, cowered back in the locker room while former Army Captain Alejandro Villanueva, Ranger, Bronze Star winner, 3 tours in the sandbox, and West Point graduate, had to beg permission from his team captains to stand alone in the tunnel just far enough to see the flag during the anthem. And then had to "apologize" to his team later for being selfishly caught on camera. His #78 game jersey became an instant best-seller.

I hate this timeline.
I remember this event.
