Everyone wondered what the Pittsburgh Steelers would do during the national anthem before tonight’s game against the New York Giants. They had kept any plans very quiet. So what did they do?

Pittsburgh went out united as a team, stood together and held a large banner that said “Steelers against racism.” Meanwhile the Giants players were given the option of standing or kneeling during the anthem and there was a mix of both.

In addition, the Steelers chose to stay in the locker room while the stadium played “Lift Every Voice and Sing.”

How do you all feel about how the Steelers handled the pregame and do you expect anything to change going forward?
