Sorry Steelers. I can’t condone this type of hatred. I apologize on their behalf. There’s a difference between football rivalry and actively hating a person.

Every single sports team on earth has people like this, don’t let them define us as a group
Their still rationg me and being offensive on the other post.
Don’t be- at least we aren’t cheering for a team with a front office that doesn’t know how football works
The amount of people downvoting and acting that way is a little absurd lmao, I’d expect there to be some rotten apples in every fan base but damn it’s a majority over there😭
Our teams may not like each other but I will always respect the human beings on both sides. Perhaps us Steelers and bengals aren’t so different
There’s no defending that kind of talk but bengals fans should be used to no defending.
There’s shitty people in every town. Respect for speaking out.
The longer from a tragedy the more people down play it’s impact. Look at 9/11 or the Holocaust. In sports Kobe’s untimely death and next Hamlin almost dying on the field. It’s an ugly unnecessary truth, as a fan who watched it live it lives with me everyday rent free and I’m thankful he can walk again.
I will never want to see anything like that ever again no matter who and it was fucking horrible.
It’s pretty simple. The people that think like that, Yinzer or not, aren’t real sports fans.

Never Forget.
It seems like the mods keep removing those posts atleast on their page
I am way ootl, what happened?
I forgive you, but we will take burrow as restitution.
TBH I remember Bengals fans being like this for as long as I can remember. And I’ve been watching since ~1990
I remember people I knew in real life wishing actual death in Kimo Von Oelhoffen. For like 5 years after it happened. If you know how to search reddit well enough you can probably find posts here.
Bengals fans and Browns fans are all trash. They’ve resigned themselves to the fact that their franchises will always be irrelevant so they say vile shit like that all the time.
Shazier was flagged for a dirty or late hit ONCE in his career. His hit against Gio wasn’t dirty; it was a product of being a poor form tackler which is why he ultimately wound up paralyzed.
The opinions of bengals fans on anything related to football is, to me, like the youthful naïveté of your recently college-aged child coming home and giving you life advice…except they’re not youthful, your child, smart enough to go to college, or allowed in my home.
I scream at the tv for us to break someone’s neck or legs all the time….but I don’t mean it! it sucks seeing a player get hurt especially knowing a lot of times they don’t come back the same.
Nick chubbs leg break was brutal af!😳
(can someone post a gif?)
They had the leading passer, receiver, and pass rusher in the league and couldn’t even manage to make the playoffs. Now their organization is back to its old ways of being stupidly cheap. Of course it’s time for them to point at something about us to make themselves feel better. Never going to stop being the little brothers of the division
Like a lot of fans, I hated the Cowboys back in the day, particularly Deion Sanders. Dude acted like a complete diva on and off the field, with an admittedly solid game to back up some (but not all) of his prima donna behavior. Laughed at his coaching failures at UC Boulder after all the self-aggrandizement he engaged in and enjoyed watching him eat a big slice of humble pie when Shedeur slid in the draft to end up an afterthought with Cleveland.
But I don’t hate the man so much as to not wish him well on the road to recovery after recent news of his bladder cancer and other health issues. Just like the major news story making the rounds right now, this post is another sad commentary on the city of Cincinnati and the Bungles fan base. I’d close by saying “do better, Cincy” but their best is, was, and always will be second rate.
As always, the players hold each other, and all who play, in a higher position of earned honor than fans do.
Some people get it. Some people don’t.
They might say it in postgame speeches and award ceremonies, but they aren’t playing this game for the fans who feel Ryan Shazier deserved to be paralyzed on the field.
You’re a real one, dude. Rivalries are supposed to be passionate and part of that passion is built on mutual disdain, sure, but it’s also built on mutual respect. Or at least it used to be. Unfortunately, the world we live in these days is so full of anger and hate and it’s infiltrated everything, including sports. It’s a bummer, but it’s really cool to see people like you stand up to that behavior. Assholes like that are everywhere, even in the Steelers fandom, unfortunately. Sadly, you can’t really do much about it. Those people are so stuck in their ways and addicted to being angry. Just keep being awesome, my man.
