Alejandro Villanueva is the only member of the Pittsburgh Steelers to come out for the national anthem yesterday. Unlike the rest of his teammates, Alejandro Villanueva is a patriot and didn’t want to disrespect the country, flag or military. As the NFL continues to lose viewers and revenue, there is a new top job out of all NFL player. That jersey is none other than Alejandro Villanueva is now the top selling jersey over all other players in the NFL. That should send quite the message to the arrogant assholes at NFL HQs in New York.

Villanueva captured the hearts of Americans on Sunday after photos and videos of the former Army Ranger standing for the National Anthem in the tunnel all by himself went viral.
ESPN is reporting that over the past 24 hours, more Villanueva gear has been ordered than any other player!
A spokesman for Fanatics, which runs the NFL’s online store, confirmed to ESPN that, over the past 24 hours, more Villanueva gear, including jerseys and name and number T-shirts, has been ordered than that of any other NFL player.
Villanueva beat out New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady for the top spot. Philadelphia Eaglesquarterback Carson Wentz, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott and Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers rounded out the top five over the past day.
Both the NFL Shop and Fanatics websites had Villanueva jerseys and T-shirts in men’s and women’s sizes.
The NFL and all of professional sports need a lot more people like Alejandro Villanueva and less selfish millionaires who feel so “oppressed” that they have to disrepute the country, anthem and military.
