The attendance of Pittsburgh Steelers players Mason Rudolph, Miles Killebrew, and former player Rocky Bleier at a Donald Trump rally created a rift among the team's fans. They presented Trump with a personalized jersey, sparking complaints directed at the Steelers organization. In response, the team clarified that the views of individual players do not reflect the organization as a whole. Mason Rudolph defended his participation, emphasizing the value of freedom of speech, amidst significant backlash from the fan community on social media.
We understand that a recent rally in Pittsburgh has generated a range of reactions from our fan base. Our alumni and current players make their own individual decisions that reflect their views and they do not necessarily represent the view of the entire Pittsburgh Steelers organization.
There's backlash every day that's the nature of social media... Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Speech is free. Par for the course.
