I am a Steelers fan and have been a die-hard one my entire life. If you're wondering about why you get emails from Steelers fans, my theory is that our fans are a more tight-knit group than other organizations. I'm not saying this to put us on a pedistool or disregard other proud football traditions, but anywhere you go in the country there are die-hard steelers fans that band together. Also, the usual "fair-weather" fan many NFL teams encounter is hard to find with steelers fans. Steelers football is aobut tradition...whether it be with their power-football style of play, their family ownership, or their dedication to keeping coaches for many years. With Flacco at the helm for the Ravens I think we can all look forward to many, many great years to come of this unbelievable rivalry. As for Num Yummy being "SHOCKED" that Steelers fans shouted words of encouragement to an injured McGahee...get real. Regardless of the rivalry, the only thing anyone should be shocked about is if you find the majority of fans that don't shout words of encouragement at a player with a serious injury. As for Steelers fans being rude to opposing fans in Heinz field during the AFC championship game agains the Ravens...what do you expect? This is football. Those are true football fans...and trash talking opposing fans in your house is part of the game, there's absolutely no reason to take it to heart. I was at the divisional game and yelled to some Chargers fans "I'm Ron Burgandy...Go fuck yourself san diego" and they responded "that means a whales vagina" and we all had a good laugh. I've been to tons of maryland football games, penn state games, and ive been to multiple stadiums and thats just the way it goes...no need to consider it rude because if it was a Tuesday and you were wearing a sweater, i doubt anyone is gonna talk shit to you b/c of your football team...sunday at the stadium is a different story though.
well thats my rant...GO STEELERS!
