I have no problem with people from PA. rooting for the Steelers, Pitt,Penn State, or the
Pirates. They should.+
It's the people from Ohio who root for the Steelers that get to me. They choose the Steelers
and maybe the Indians or Yankees in baseball and OSU in football.
What do they do when the OH---IO cheer goes up??? Chant I root for a Pennsylvania team???
There is a word for Ohio Steeler fans----FRONTRUNNERS.
The next time an Ohio person says he is a Steeler fan ask him " What part of Pennsylvania
are you from???". If he is from Pa. congraulate him on his loyalty. If he is from Ohio
frontrunner and traitor come to mind.

I know what you mean. I was born and raised in NE Ohio so I cant imagine rooting for any other team EVER. There's 3 people that married into my family and every single one of them are from Pissburgh so as you can imagine family gatherings can get interesting around this time of year. Im really looking forward to Christmas time when I get to rub it in there face how the Browns killed pissburghs playoff hopes. It's going to be great.

There are no rules on what topics to start here.
I disagree with his main premise though, a majority of Steeler fans are loyal to Pittsburgh and love the Buckeyes, Tribe and Cavs.
Living in Akron, I see this everywhere. The Youngstown area in general is now Pitt fans and even my hometown of Ashtabula has become inundated. Gipper hit it on head about OSU, they are the main university in the state.
It is beyond annoying to watch a bunch of so called fans laugh at the Browns and us fans that have been there for a long time as diehards. That's another reason the win over the Squeelers was so sweet. Even though the Pitt fans on this board are a pain in the ass, they are actual fans and not some bandwagonners looking to prop themselves up and look down on the real fans who bleed Brown and Orange.

Despise PeNN St.Well, I think you really have to distinguish certain fans. Freakazoid here is clearly a true fan of the Pittsburgh area, good, bad, or indifferent. I mean, he may crow if the Penquins and Steelers do well, but he acknowledges that he stays true to the Pirates who we know have been crap for a long time. Good for him. Some of you may not remember, but we went through 40 years of it with the Tribe (I DO remember).
Others of these so called Steeler fans will really blow with the wind. They are around here, yes, idiots. They will glom on to the Steelers if they are good, or the Celtics, or the Bulls.
How often did you see Chicago Bulls gear when Jordan was playing for them? All the time. How often do you see it now? Never.

I have done that frequently.....and an answer I often get is something like: Oh, I have family that lives in (fill in the blank of Western Pa. town). I say, Oh, you were raised there, and your parents live there? Then they say "no, I have a cousin that lives there". WTF, they use the "I have family" excuse to lie to us and to them about their own lack of loyalty, because deep inside they know they lack character and fortitude.

I have a brother in law who is a Steeler fan....but at least he grew up in Pittsburgh area. I have another who is a Bengal fan, but he grew up in Cincy, though he says that now that he had moved to South Carolina several years ago, he no longer follows them or pays attention, even now when they are doing well. (but he has NOT become a Panther fan).

LOL... He wasnt about to Raise up BROWNS fans... And my Girls Born Bred in OHIO... STEELER FANS baby. Thats why If you gys ask "What part of Pa. are you from ? " You should follow (If answers is not from Ohio) "Then what part of Pa. is your mom or dad from ?" If these questions fail ...I understand you stance. Though I stand by that ALL are welcome on the Black and Gold. My dad had a Cousin from Beaver Falls Pa. who LOVED the Browns.... Not sure why. Think it was Jim Brown as he always talked about him. By the way I seen some Mexican Flags when i was in Phoenix...
Climbing the Stairway...To SEVEN !! -
(I'm from Warren, hence the nickname, WarrenDawg.) I was born in Warren in 1978. As a kid growing up there, I recall most people in the area being Browns fans. I think it's safe to say Warrenites my age and older are still Browns fans. It's mostly the younger kids, frontrunners, morons, and influx of transients into the area who are the Steeler fans. Most of the Browns diehards from Warren, like myself, have left the area because of lack of skilled position jobs. There always were a few Steeler fans around in the 80's, and the ones that I knew did have family ties from PA, which I understand. Warren isn't too far from the PA line... Youngstown TV stations have always aired Browns games over Steeler games, but the area is a battleground [that divides families].
I graduated from YSU. I attended while Tressel was there, and I was glad to see him get the job as HC for the Buckeyes. I went to the YSU football games, had two cousins that were captains under Tressel, still love the Penguins... But during that time, and still now, I root for the Buckeyes. OSU doesn't represent "all the college football in Ohio", but Ohioans should want them to win "for the greater cause".
I'm living in the Cincinnati area now, and I attend UC, and I'm glad that the Bearcats had a great season. I'm a Buckeye, Penguin, & Bearcat fan for all listed reasons (which makes sense).
Of course, I will never like the Bengals, but I do have to tolerate all the Bengal sh*t at bars and all (living in enemy territory).
The Michigan/Steeler/Yankee/Cowboy fans with no ties, living in Ohio, are mostly frontrunning morons. They will disappear when these teams continue to suck.
Remember all the "Bulls fans" there used to be during the Jordon era? Where are they now?

By the way I seen some Mexican Flags when i was in Phoenix...I think that is what I said above. If someone's folks were from that area it is totally understandable, but their wife's third cousin, six times removed? Bogus, yet I hear that sort of silliness.
I have cousins in Minnesota, should I be a Viking fan? (Though, I will admit, that if I have an English Premier League Soccer team, it is the Liverpool FC because I have cousins there....but that is an ocean away)
Hell, I am even having trouble in my own household. My daughter is talking like she might like the freeking Cowboys JUST because she likes the damn cheerleaders (her reasons for liking the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders are WHOLLY different than my reasons for liking the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders)

One of them plays small forward for the Cleveland Cavaliers.

All I know is that I have lived in the Youngstown area all my life and from the 60s up
until the 80s you had to search long and hard to find a Steeler fan in this area.
Amazing how winning brings in fair-weathered fans.
I just talked to a guy who described himself as a "die-hard" Steeler fan from the
Youngstown area. I asked him how long he had been a Steeler fan since he is my
age (50s). He said " Oh a long time! The last 20 years or so." FRONTRUNNER--
Where were you for the first 35 years of your life when the Steelers STUNK?????

Well, the dude may indeed have been a FRAK, but, if he was say 55, then he would have only been 20 when the Steelers began their string of 4 titles in the 70s.
Though, it is my sincere belief that a person' allegiances to a team are set at somewhere between 8-12 years old. Mine certainly were. That is why I have always been first and formost an Indians and Browns fan (and also OSU) because between 1960 and 1962 or '63 that is when I began following them. The Cavs didn't come around until I was in college and off with other things in mind, so my connection with them is not as great as with the teams of boyhood.
Is this the same as most of your experiences?

Very accurate assessment DAwg... And there were a LOT of years in the Late 70`s and 80`s that WKBN WYTV and WFMJ played Steeler Games over Browns games. They were Feeding off of all those Super Bowls and the fact you Stated People with those ties to W. Pa. ...So You went to Harding ?? Funny I Graduated from Warren Western Reserve in 1979... You young Buck. Still go see the Raiders play !!

I have a brother in law who is a Steeler fan....but at least he grew up in Pittsburgh area. I have another who is a Bengal fan, but he grew up in Cincy, though he says that now that he had moved to South Carolina several years ago, he no longer follows them or pays attention, even now when they are doing well. (but he has NOT become a Panther fan).

I live in South Carolina and have yet to run into a Panther fan. It's really strange.
