What do you call a Steelers fan?

A die-hard person from around the USA who cheers for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Knows that Sundays involve one thing – Steelers games. They cheer for the team that plays the old-fashioned way – run it hard and play hard defence.  Steelers fans hate every player and every other team besides their own.

They watch every game and yell and bitch when their players don’t perform like the 6-time champions they are. They love beer, Terrible Towels, Myron Cope, and being the most physical team in the league. The world’s best people cheering for the world’s best team.

Known for their ignorance of all things sports related. They become easy agitated & will verbally assault a stranger wearing another team’s apparel, even if it is not an NFL team.

Working blue-collar jobs, they pride their team on being hard-nosed, carrying lunch pails, a team that will line up and “punch you in the mouth” (which is illegal according to NFL rules).

Quick to chastise an NFL player for being arrested, using steroids or show-boating. Yet, they defend their alcoholic kicker & Superbowl teams of the ’70s that were injected with horse steroids.

Any given autumn Sunday, most Steeler fans’ can be found at your local Wal-Mart rather than watching the game.

The most common phrases used by a Steeler fan include: “Did we win yesterday?”. “Oh, do we like him?”, “I liked (insert player’s name) before anyone else”, and “What is a blitz package/ safety/ encroachment/ holding penalty.”

Suffering from mild to moderate colour blindness. Insisting their team’s colours are black and gold when the primary colour is obviously yellow.

Insisting to the death that the Steelers are better than your team, but can’t back up their statement with a reasonable explanation. Typical Steeler fans can’t identify any players from other teams unless they are regularly shown on Sports Center or are former Steelers.
