Tomlin; Team Will Support Players That Kneel

PITTSBURGH (AP) – Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin says the team will support players if they chose to kneel during the national anthem. Tomlin says the club has engaged in “intimate discussions” about social activism in the aftermath of George Floyd’s death last month. The team has set up structural committees designed to help players as they figure out what actions they might want to take. Tomlin says the organization is fine with whatever the players decide so long as they do things “thoughtfully and with class.”
