PITTSBURGH - The Steelers revealed that the team's patriarch Dan Rooney personally ordered the cancellation of the singing the Star Spangled Banner before Monday night's game, and that Mr. Rooney has ordered that the American flag will no longer fly at Heinz Field."From now on, I don't want to hear anyone at Heinz Field utter the words, 'United States of America,'" said Rooney. "The Steelers are their own nation, and on our field, we do not recognize the sovereignty of any other nation, including the one whose name is no longer permitted to be mentioned," he explained.
