Pittsburgh (AP) – The legend of the Pittsburgh Steelers Rocky Bleier called an audible when he introduced President Donald Trump for a Steelers shirt with No. 47 during a demonstration in western Pennsylvania last week.

Not everyone was delighted with that.

Several fans sent by email to the team expressing their anger on the gesture, which was not directly authorized by the team.

The club responded to those who communicated, writing that the views of current and previous players do not necessarily reflect the vision of the organization.

Trump joined the stage in the rally to announce that he was doubling tariffs on the steel imported by 50% by the Mason Mason Rudolph and the security Myles Killebrew.

Rudolph said he saw part of the setback but that he did not take it personally.

“That is the nature of social networks,” Rudolph said Tuesday after Steelers finished voluntary team training. “That is the nature of why the United States is so great. Everyone has the right to their own opinion. The speech is free. For the course.”

Bleier, Rudolph and Killebrew are not the only people with ties with the steers who have appeared with Trump. The former stars Antonio Brown and Le’veon Bell met Trump when he was perplexed in West of Pennsylvania before the 2024 elections.
