The Pittsburgh Steelers are a professional football team based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The team currently belongs to the North Division of the American Football Conference (AFC) in the National Football League (NFL). Founded in 1933, the Steelers are the oldest franchise in the AFC. Pittsburgh has won more Super Bowl titles (six), won more AFC Championship Games (eight) and played in (fifteen) and hosted more (eleven) conference championship games than any other AFC or NFC team. The Steelers share the record for most Super Bowl appearances with the Dallas Cowboys (eight). The Steelers won their most recent championship, Super Bowl XLIII, on February 1, 2009.
The Steelers were founded as the Pittsburgh Pirates on July 8, 1933, by Art Rooney, taking its original name from the baseball team of the same name, as was common practice for NFL teams at the time. The ownership of the Steelers has remained within the Rooney family since its founding. The current owner is Art's son, Dan Rooney, who has given much control of the franchise to his son Art Rooney II. Long one of the NFL's flagship teams, the Steelers enjoy a large, widespread fanbase nicknamed Steeler Nation. The Steelers currently play their home games at Heinz Field on Pittsburgh's North Side in the North Shore neighborhood, which also hosts the University of Pittsburgh Panthers. Built in 2001, the stadium replaced Three Rivers Stadium which hosted the Steelers for 31 seasons. Prior to Three Rivers, the Steelers had played their games in Pitt Stadium and Forbes Field.

I have been a Steeler Fan since 1963 (Buddy Dial, John Henry Johnson). The team had little talent back then, but always played hard and tough. Because of this, I watched and listened to a lot of games inspite of the poor quality of play. Then they hired a guy named Chuck Noll and over time, things got unbelievably good for a very long time. There have been some bad times and multiple losing seasons, but I have always been proud to wear my Steeler gear. Unfortunately, with all the "ME" players, zero leadership from players, Coach, and OWNER in addition to soft, undisciplined and SELFISH play on the field, I can no longer wear my Steeler gear in public and no desire to wear it at home. The team has become an embarrassment. Hopefully, Mr. Rooney will step up and do WHATEVER IT TAKES to get things back on track. Now if you will excuse me, I have to go out and buy my Leveon Bell rap CD. Great team player!
Wow
It's a blood thing, we're family! Get pissed! I get it! I'm angry too! Embarrassed? Sure, ya...especially if you grew up watching the STEEL CURTAIN! #75, #68, #63, & #78!! That was a bunch of BRAWLERS! Who set the bar for what we expect, forever! But turn my back? On my team? NEVER!!!
This is the simplist issue to
This is the simplist issue to diagnose, your team has no will or dis ire to win. That is a coaching and head office issue. You have created a group of individuals that believe they are better than the team. And a coach that believes if you ignor the issues at hand, it will go away. This organization was never built on a single individual, it was all about the team, you are as good as your weakest player or as bad as your most aerogant player. You have some work to do. If you want help let me know I would be more than happy to lead you to a championship path.

Dear Coach
Dear Coach Tomlin,
You got this! You made a comment that caused me to write. " I think we're going to develop an identity for 2019". No, I'm sorry but we already have our identity. Born with family working in the steel mines I think I speak for a lot of us. We are a hard working community. There are No sick days and definitely no slacking when work needs to be done. We're a loyal bunch and I/we expect the same. Say what you mean, and mean what you say - STAND BY IT! Believe me when I say coach, we don't want anybody that doesn't bleed black & gold. Let them go and let's get some guys who want to play for the PITTSBURGH STEELERS! It's an honor that should be respected. Remember who you are, how hard you worked to get this position and WHO WORKS FOR YOU!! I am angry. I hope you are too
