Steelers respond to fans angered by Mason Rudolph's presence at Donald Trump rally

Our Summary

The article discusses the "stick to sports" slogan, which initially served to silence athletes and media with differing political opinions. Recently, fans criticized Steelers players Mason Rudolph and Miles Killebrew for attending a rally with President Trump, highlighting the reversed application of the phrase. The Steelers responded to the backlash by sending an email acknowledging that players’ political activities don't represent the team's views. It underscores the First Amendment's role in allowing players and fans to express their opinions. Ultimately, the team's focus remains on football success rather than political affiliations, as evidenced by their interest in Aaron Rodgers despite his controversial political statements.
