Why I Hate the Pittsburgh Steelers

Sorry, but you're right. The Steelers have low class. But the Jets are the definition of classless, and I won't ever consider someone who cheats "classy" even if they put on a nice face. The Ravens aren't a classy team either, and are right behind the Steelers on almost every list you said, so I don't get your point.

OK, I smell a troll now.

I love when Yinzers say "the face of your franchise is a murderer"

Even if that were true, how does that old saying go - people who live in glass houses shouldn't through stones.

Far more evidence to suggest Ben is a rapist than Ray is a murderer IMO.

No, but I'm guessing that people are still mad enough after the loss that a rational thought such as "Why not focus on us instead of constantly complaining about the other teams" isn't well-liked.

What was that above about glass houses and not throwing stones? You hit the nail on the head, and I even said the Steelers are not a classy team. But you just said "don't throw stones in glass houses". The Ravens aren't considered a classy team either. It's fine to make the point that the Steelers are classes, I just wonder what you think is accomplished by making all the threads and posts about.

But if pointing out that other teams besides the Steelers are classless is trolling, we have very different definitions of the word.

And my "YOU" above isn't referring to you, NCRAven, or anyone. It's the collective you, i'm not calling anyone out.

Seems to me you've been doing a lot of talking about Pittsburgh the city and the team not being so bad and why the Ravens aren't so great.

In the topic dedicated to hatred of a team? Yes.

And also the person who said "we lost but were the better team" because I wanted to know why he thought that. You need a good reason to back up a statement like that, because it's not the assumption. For example, we beat the Browns. I can say "we are better than the Browns." If a Browns fan wanted to claim they were the better team, I'd want them to find support for that (Good luck, but still), or I will assume they're just making noise.

Also, I realize I have a different view of the Steelers fans, because I don't deal with the bandwagon, because I live in Pittsburgh. Yes, that probably causes me to have a different opinion, but I don't understand how that makes my viewpoint non-existant. Many of the people on this board even said the Steelers fans in Pittsburgh are a far different animal. For what its worth, the Steelers fans at the Ravens games I go to in Baltimore are terrible, but when I go to Ravens away games here, they aren't.

One fan's opinion, that's all. I do believe, and still believe, that we had the better team on paper this year, but simply UnderAchieved, that's all! Not playing up to one's potential is really a frustrating thing to handle as a fan.

That's fine, I just don't like being accused of trolling when I challenge it.
