On Monday, Steelers defensive end Stephon Tuitt explained that he will not kneel for our flag during the playing of the national anthem, noting of his grandmotherâs success story after immigrating to the United States.
After doling out financial advice to other athletes, Tuitt said forcefully via social media, âAlso Iâm not kneeling for the flag and screw anybody who have a problem with that.â
âMy grandmother was a immigrant from the Caribbean and age worked her a** off to bring 20 people over the right way,â he added. âShe had no money and educated herself to be a nurse. She living good now.â

Still, some, such as Tuitt, are bucking the new normal.
On Thursday, 27-year-old Sam Coonrod of the San Francisco Giants was the only baseball player who refused to kneel during a moment honoring Black Lives Matter in Dodger Stadium.
Coonrod said his Christian faith does not align with kneeling before anyone other than God, according to TMZ Sports.
As noted by The Daily Wire, Coonrod also cited the radical left-wing ideology of the Black Lives Matter movement.
âI just canât get on board with a couple things Iâve read about Black Lives Matter, how they lean towards Marxism. And ⌠they said some negative things about the nuclear family,â he said. âI just canât get on board with that.â
Stand tall fellas. It takes guts to stand up for what you believe in the face of the bullying from the Left to conform to what we say or else.
