The team any non-fan roots for as soon as they do well because of what they did in the 70s and they're pretty black and yellow jerseys.

Thanks. This kind of attitude is exactly why I don't bother to post in this thread and the soccer version. I should have stayed quiet.

Just for information, I lived in Pittsburgh for a short while and later again completed my MBA at the University. I was lucky enough to be taken to Superbowl XIII having watched most of the games at Three Rivers that year. I got to meet Joe Green and Jack Lambert. I have supported the Steelers through all their poor years since. I might not be a native, but I think I'm allowed to be enthusiastic about the team without being termed "fairweather".



Thanks for the welcome.
