Villaneuva may not be the hero some are making him out to be. Sounds like he didn't mean to go out on to the field after all. The story is a little confusing, though.
Bullshit! He knew exactly what he was doing. The rest of the team wasn't even on the field. Did he walk straight past them? Miss the pre-game hate America briefing?
He was threatened because (as I posted above) coach said no one was going to participate.
