Fireballer 2,369 Posted September 17, 2020 Seems he wasnt informed that the guy he honored was triggerman in drive by shooting. This is how the Steelers framed it: On the night of June 19, 2018, the car Antwon Rose Jr., who is black, was a passenger in was pulled over by the East Pittsburgh Police. While the driver was being handcuffed on suspicion of being involved in an incident that happened earlier that evening, a frightened Rose fled from the car. The cell phone video a bystander captured showed Rose running, and then you could hear gunshots and see as he was fatally shot in the back three times by a white East Pittsburgh Police Officer.

Good for him. I think there's a lot of ignorance in all of this. Good of him to own up and admit he made a mistake. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gladiators 1,904 Posted September 17, 2020 Not sure that I have all of the information here, but hopefully Pouncey calls out the Steelers for not providing the fully story to the players. You'd think someone would have asked/stood up and said, "this is BS." At a minimum, hopefully other players start questioning what their cause actually is...

RLLD 3,455 Posted September 17, 2020 This is really hopeful stuff..... Good for him for not being a sheep to a vile movement. Let's hope others find the courage to stand up to this repugnant attempt to celebrate criminals at the expense of actual heroes(police and others) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lod001 1,235 Posted September 18, 2020 Bunch of complete morons who don't even give a rats ass about the name on their jersey until informed it is in fact a complete loser. They just want to keep the bullshit flowing. Well that didn't work out too well. Then they have to find someone to blame, All the while the only man on the team, A.Villanueva, honors a fallen soldier....making them look even more retarded than they already are.
