The idea to have mascot was bad. Seeing what the mascot looked like for the first time was worse. Finding out that the name of the mascot was going to be
we are a city of tradition and history...our team is seen as one of dominance and intimidation, which does not warrant a cartoon-like mascot which is just going to get beer thrown at him for getting in the way of dedicated steelers fans who just want to watch the game.
Why do we need a mascot? We didn't have a mascot for 75 years and now we need one. A better mascot would of resembled a toothless Jack Lambert, not some stupid Steel Beam.
Mascots are more for family oriented sports like Baseball and Volleyball. A mascot at a Steeler game would be tormented more than a Clevland fan. Please do not allow this Blasphemous act to shame our great team and its impeccable traditions.
I take pride in that the Steelers are about football 100%, and not drawing fans' attention away with other stupid stuff like lame mascots and cheerleaders. Let the other lower NFL teams consume themselves with that trash. Bring us good football, and don't embarrass us / the team with this lame attempt.
Steeler fans don't need a mascot, let alone a name like Steely McBeam. Is this a McDonald's sponsered team?! Get rid of it! Must have been the brain child of a granddaughter under the age of 4. ugh!
As the petition states, Steeler fans are the mascots of the Pittsbrgh Steelers. This isn't high school football, this is the NFL. Leave the mascots to losers like the Cowboys and Redskins!!!!!
Look, it was all fine and good until that dumb name was picked for it...I understand it's for the 75th Annv. Celebration but guys, we don't need it. The name sucks.
Steely McBeam is a waste. The Steelers are now the laughing stock of the NFL. Each and ever member of the Steeler Naiton rae The Steelers cheerleaders and mascot. Anyone remember Stevie Steeler?
