As previously reported, the Pittsburgh Steelers apologized Tuesday (November 27th) for omitting a performance of the national anthem by Neil before the nationally televised game against the Miami Dolphins at Heinz Field.
The National Football League and the Steelers decided Monday night to forgo the anthem -- which traditionally opens sporting events in America -- after torrential rain and lightning forced a 25-minute weather delay.
"Our guys were going to send the singer out to sing immediately after they were sending the teams back on (the field)," said Steelers president Art Rooney II. "I said, 'Well, wait, because there's nobody in the stands. There's no sense in singing it when everybody's standing in the concourse.' So they waited, and the league and the network said, 'Well, now we don't have a window.' "Greg Aiello, NFL senior vice president of public relations, said NFL representatives at the game decided to shorten pre-game warmups and other activities in order to kick off as quickly as possible.
