James Harrison Stood Alone During Playing Of National Anthem In First Game As A Patriot

This is probably not a way to get acclimated with your new team.

Earlier this week, former Steelers linebacker caused a storm when he signed with the Patriots. Teammates ripped him for it and fans weren’t exactly happy about it.

Just before his first game of his Patriots career — Harrison decided to not stand with his new teammates during the playing of the National Anthem, rather stand alone by himself near the bench:

It was very odd.
