On September 24th, 2017, as many of the players and organizations in the NFL chose not to be a part of the National anthem by either taking a knee or staying in the locker room as a result to President Donald Trump's tweet condemning NFL players, fans also began to have their own reaction. ^{[undefined] [undefined]}

The Pittsburg Steelers was one of the NFL teams that stayed off the field, except for player, Alejandro Villanueva, and Robert was not happy. ^[undefined] As a fan of the football team for many years, on the day where most players decided to protest that national

anthem, he decided to burn his collectibles as a way to defect from the team that he follows.

Robert takes out a “a $450 leather jacket” with the Steelers logo on the back.

He says, “Watch me burn it,” - he also took out his hats and sweaters.

“My great uncle’s bones are lying in the bones of Pearl Harbor,” Williams added.

“You do not disrespect the flag and the country, and the Constitution, and why we have our freedoms,” he said.

“So watch this stuff burn."

He proceeds to burn all of his collectibles.
