Steeler Colors

I have a question, and I mean no disrespect to all the other Cleveland sports fans out there. Why does everyone hate the Steelers so much? I understand a bit of rivalry: BYU vs Utah, OSU vs Michigan. The hated "other" colors. But, I was always taught that if the rivalry team was in a championship game you should cheer for them. It makes your team look better. So why did everyone refuse to cheer for the Steelers on Sunday? Why cheer for a team all the way across the country? Also, when that sorry excuse of a pathetic little man took away our beloved Browns, Pittsburgh was the next closest team. I recall a lot of people jumping ship and rooting for the Steelers for those orange-less and brown-less years.

I always try to make "party food" for dinner on Super Bowl Sunday. We had pizza muffins, nachos, and brownie fruit pizza (I know, real healthy right?) Jacob was sleeping when we ate. When he woke up, I noticed he still had on his white church shirt with black pants. I knew that white shirt had to be changed or it would suffer a early demise, so I went to his drawer in search of another shirt. The first shirt I saw was yellow. Perfect I thought to myself. My little boy ate his food and watched the game in yellow and black. Does that makes him or me less of a Cleveland fan? I don't think so. If, by some miracle, the Browns had made the Superbowl we would've pulled out our Browns apparel, Browns bandannas, and orange pom-poms. We might have even painted our faces, and the girls would definitely have painted their nails orange. But, the Browns weren't in the Superbowl and I didn't see any harm in cheering for the neighbooring team. So, Good job Steelers! (I should probably add that my parents were both born in that area and I still have many relatives there)
