What's up with Pitt fanbase? - Guest - 11-17-2017
There are racial issues everywhere. Yes, some fans will stoop to that level because that is what they are. That goes both ways and is obviously wrong.
What I am talking about is general disgust for his brand of coaching. I think there is lots of that, the racist stuff just piles on where ever it can get a willing ear.

i live near and work in the pittsburgh area. its the protests and the majority white population tired of being called racists for caring about our country and military. never before, thursday or otherwise, has the fan base been unwilling to 100% support the team. i think steelers fans are annoying as hell because i have to hear from them all the time. but until now no one couldve questioned their commitment to the team.

The team averaged 8,189 no-shows per game in 2013, including a Sunday night game against the Bengals in December where over 19,000 people no-showed.
