We rate this claim: TRUE!
It’s true, patriots. As reported by Flagg Eagleton, Steelers Head Coach Mike Tomlin will fire any player who kneels for the National Anthem. In a statement to his players, Tomlin said:
You know the rules and so do I. A full commitment’s what I’m thinking of. You wouldn’t get this from any other guy.”
Steeler’s Mike Tomlin Says No More Kneeling On His Field: “You’re Athlete’s Not Activists”
The statement was obtained by Eagleton personally from a message he likely sent himself at the ALLOD main email, that surprisingly few people send messages to. It’s like nobody wants to work anymore. And no, that doesn’t mean send all your dumb story ideas. Leave the news to Flagg.
The rest of the statement was a little bit vague, but the basics were simple: As long as they don’t kneel, Mike Tomlin will never give them up. He will never let them down. He certainly won’t ever turn around and desert them.
Thank you, coach Tomlin, for doing the right thing, And thank you, Flagg Eagleton, for reporting the news nobody else has thought of yet.
