Awful. Cheesy. I realize they let the fans name the mascot. But did they choose a suggestion at random? The name (which I refuse to even say or type) sounds like a really bad joke and must go.
When they released the mascot, I thought I was as mad as I could ever be at the Steelers. But when the name came out, I was furious. Get rid of the mascot and its stupid name. It's making people all over the nation think Steeler fans aren't tough.
I hate You all! Look I did not ask to be created, all I try to do is shine a little sunshine in this otherwise miserable overcast city, and I get ripped from my hard hat to the bottoms of my yellow feet!! Tthe kids love me!! My self esteem will not wavier, I will not bowe to you
I just heard someone say the perfect thing - we are so into watching and cheering on our football team that we don't need any distractions for our entertainment (meaning we do not need a mascot nor do we need cheerleaders).
