    I remember reading that people in Pittsburgh consider the Steelers a big conversation topic in June

    honestly I dislike the Steelers mostly because Ben Roethlisberger is probably a rapist :n

    Yeah, the Steelers are like demigods around here. It's fucking bizarre.

    I like to shock people by saying I don't care about football, it makes me feel superior.

    my grandfather was the biggest Eagles stan of all time so there are no Steelers fans within like a 20 mile radius of my home

    People in Western PA are ugly, mean, and stupid, so they like having a quarterback who reflects that.

    Odradek: FIRSTLY this conflicts with my indoctrination! Secondly: even if you leave pittsburgh, there is a high chance of meeting someone else from the tristate who also finds it entirely necessary to talk about them at all times. My dad never even WATCHED THE GAMES when i was little and still managed to instill loyalty.

    it is kind of weird to me how much people like the Steelers in Pittsburgh

    people in Denver realize that there is more to life than the Broncos, though when KUSA's news (Colorado's News Leader!) talks about them they talk about them like they're the White House

    And the Rocky Mountains

    (though Pittsburgh is close to the Appalachians, but not like Denver is to the Rockies)

    Agreed. The Seahawks deserved XL, if only because then I wouldn't have been bullied for not caring about the game.

    I only mention it when prompted, though. Like if someone asks what team i support etc. And I usually mention it's due to familial indoctrination rather than actually following the team.

    well, I guess that's minimal sin, at least.
  • buttercrispybuttercrispy
    Haha, i appreciate the downgrade of my sins against humanity. But really, both my grandfathers worked at the steel mills so like... there are worse reasons to support a team I guess?
  • Imipolex GImipolex G

    Do the Steelers really have any connection to the steel mills besides the name? But whatever.

    There are worse crimes against humanity, like listening to Nickelback.

    No sports teams have any relation to the city they nominally represent, because they're all made up of wandering mercenaries

    Man is a most complex simple creature: see what he weaves, and how base his reasons for doing so.
    I hate sports but I will theoretically support my home team against any other national teams.

    I will also not support teams that I have no tie to, like the Spurs or whatever, why would I even do that.

    With a college team, the players are at least nominally my fellow students, so...

    grumble grumble you get to go to a real college

    also sometimes I get a smidge resentful that nobody seems to like Denver or Detroit teams much if they are forced to pick sides and one is one of them :n

    I think the Packer fanbase in Wisconsin is pretty similar. I remember one of my grade school teachers having a Packer wall in her classroom and I think we actually had "Packer Day" from time to time there. My experience has also been that Packer fans like to talk about their team to most anybody who seems like they might be a fellow fan.  A while back, a random person at a grocery store in Milwaukee chatted me up about the Packers' draft that year, presumably because I was wearing something Packer related. Even here in Minnesota, which is rival territory, I guess, I get compliments for wearing Packer stuff. While Minnesota is close to Wisconsin, so it is not uncommon to see Wisconsin transplants, I have seen Packer fans all over. It seems like they are just as widespread as Steeler fans.

    Despite those similarities between the teams and their fans, the Steelers are actually one of my least favorite NFL teams (no offense to Steeler fans) and I was glad to see the Packers beat them in Super Bowl XLV. That was a great playoff run, especially since the Pack were also able to eliminate the Bears on their way to that Super Bowl win.

    Green Bay has the Packers logo and "Titletown, U.S.A." in their city seal

    Via osmosis I got kind of bummed when the Seahawks came back to win the NFC title game last season (for obvious reasons) until the other side shook out and their opponent became known

    There's basically no room in Columbus for a pro football team because everyone here are fanatics about college football

    does Ohio have an NFL team?

    honestly we should give one of our teams to you guys if you don't, it's weird that we have two.

    then the two PA teams could merge to become the Steel Eagles and have the best name in the NFL.

    The Cleveland Browns and the Cincinnati Bengals

    Also there was a time during World War II when the Eagles and Steelers merged to become the "Steagles"

    I'm currently in Los Angeles which has two NBA teams, two MLB teams, and zero NFL teams because of weird pro sports politics.

    But I grew up in the Triangle, my dad went to UNC, and I went to UNC, so that's pretty much where all my fandom lies

    About the only reason I give half a damn about the Steelers is because Polamalu was from my area, and if you ever meet someone who can find it on a map and didn't already live there, he's probably the reason.

    Stan Kroenke is trying to move the Rams there, the Raiders and Chargers have a proposal to build a stadium going, the Dayton Triangles want to move to LA...

    Also, semi-relevant odd confession:

    I associate Super Bowl XL less with anyone who played in it and more with how it was ABC's last Super Bowl (and last NFL game period until one of next year's wild card playoff games, simulcast with ESPN) and I didn't record it.
