Hilarious, rep-worthy post.
However, the bolded part is completely wrong. :p

No, it's not. I personally know of dozens of Steelers fans who have never set foot in Pittsburgh.

90% of the Steeler fans I've met in Steeler bars around the country either grew up in Pittsburgh, or their parents did.

Real Steeler fans wouldn't choose to live in or around Cincy.

Well, I'm not 1 of them been there and loved it...

 

[steelcurtain]

...and my gf provided him with a link to watch the game too. I should smack her around a little for that.

And I would do it again..

 

[cincygrad]

ahhh look, I figured you'd be over that dent I put in your little fetal forehead all those years ago. gimme a break, she never told me you were in there.

I'm not sure whether to laugh or be terrified.

There's a lot of douchebags around town here wearing Steelers gear. If I wore Bengals gear in downtown Pittsburg I might get assaulted, but around here you can wear anything. Most of the folks in Pittsburgh area were nice though, but I didn't wear any Reds/Bengals gear there.

 

[vancelot23]

I live in Kentucky and there are a ton of Steelers fans, none of whom have been near Pittsburgh.

I wasn't in the office the day the memo came out saying you had to be from a town, to be a fan of their team?
Guess I am not "legally" qualified to be a Steeler fan, since I only lived/grew up about 60 miles outside the city limits?

 

[vancelot23]

There are circumstances to root for a team outside your area, although I think 60 miles is close enough to qualify as your home team. Maybe your family is from the area, something like that, but most of the time it's just because they're good. There's no earthly reason why a bunch of people from KY root for the Steelers. In the 90s you couldn't find a steelers fan around here. Now they're everywhere. That's bandwagon fans.

 

[cincygrad]

I think you guys are missing the point..... Cincinnati and several other cities I have been to are littered with dudes that are wearing Steeler jerseys. Half of these guys were wearing Rams jerseys around 2000 and probably grew up rooting for the Cowboys in the nineties. It's really pretty sad.

It is funny how sensitive Steeler fans are about the label "bandwagon."

If they don't believe it's true, how is it so easy to evoke a response by suggesting it?

 

[bengaldoug]

I don't understand the whole idea of jumping bandwagons.....it's so much more fun to hate the Steelers, or anyone else who is a natural rival and wins consistently....I couldn't look at myself in the mirror if I sold out like that.....

 

[Cali Steel]

Doug. You got it pretty right on there.
As Bengals fans, you're supposed to hate the Steelers, and vice versa.
And also a team that is a consistent winner, is going to attract bandwagon fans,
and haters as well.
We all just need to remember that it's just a game, and one that none of us "actually" play.

I'n not sensitive about it. Kramer and Vance posted their personal experiences with Steeler fans, as did I. Mine just happened to be vastly different.

And by the way, I figured with your extensive computer/browser knowledge you might have heard of a bookmark. This is a simple devise that, in this case, allows the user to bypass the main page for the one portion of the site that is relevant to their interest. In this case we find that Bengals discussions are relevant to Bengals fans and therefore many of us have 'bookmarked' the Bengals board thereby bypassing the main page. On the other hand, the common Steeler fan is a bandwagoner that has never been to Pittsburgh. For this reason, they are naturally insecure and find the need to relieve their frustrations on message boards. These types of fans generally hang on the main board and wait for a "Steeler-Relevant" post - When given a chance to chime in, it makes this type of fan excited to "prove" that they are a true fan and not simply a frontrunning bandwagon douchebag.

LOL at fans who think it beneath them to look at the main page. Talk about tunnel-vision. Do ya turn off the news after the local stuff is over? Yeahhh...who needs to see that irrelevant world and national stuff...yecch! Everybody knows that the civilized world ends at the Hamilton County line.

I choose to live here... And I am a Steeler fan.

You choose to live here because you have all your own teeth.
