Ben Roethlisberger, the longtime quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers, said that he regrets the team’s much-derided move to not appear on the field during the national anthem last Sunday, adding that the team will most likely stand for the anthem in future games.

The two-time Super Bowl champion wrote on his personal website that he “was unable to sleep last night and want to share my thoughts and feelings on our team’s decision to remain in the tunnel for the National Anthem yesterday.”
