So uh, who’s making that decision?

Some part of the organization, whether it was from the locker room or ownership, all decided they would wear this guys name on their helmet. Pouncey wore it for game one, realized the guy was a scum bag and is now speaking out against it.

Honestly I never thought pouncey would be the guy with a brain to stand up to this nonsense, but props to him, seems like pittsburgh has at least a couple guys who are paying attention

I'm a steelers fan and Pouncey has always been a pretty stand up guy off the field. He does a ton in both pittsburgh communities and in his hometown in florida. He also donates a lot of money to the police in both places.

As browns fan, fuck him.

Team owners and NFL officials. If you are a player your uniform is not “yours” per se.

Respect. Honor real heroes, not criminals.
Agreed. Free Hernandez.
Minus the fact he only did this after having Antwon Rose Jr.’s name on his helmet knowing absolutely nothing about what happened, just assuming it was a racist pos cop
Don't disparage it. Always embrace those willing to learn from thier mistakes.
Yeah, good for him for correcting his way. Doesn't mean he should get off the hook for spreading a false narrative on nationalized television to millions of people. Damage was already done
True, but I feel like if he knows he's in the wrong, he's already feeling a sense of embarrassment and that's a good enough punishment for me.
He gets credit for reversing course and admitting he acted on limited information. It's much harder to admit you made a mistake...virtually all these other players would have just doubled down.
Must suck to hate America, I cant imagine it
What are u talking about?
