She Was For The Steelers Before She Was Against Them
Sure, the real issue dogging Republican vice presidential candidate was that she supported the Bridge to Nowhere in Alaska until it became politically expedient not to do so. But I don’t give a cantilevered fuck about a bridge. I’m pissed off that she, like ticket mate John McCain, has tried to curry favor with Pennsylvania voters by fudging some small useless facts about the Steelers. Hey, Yinzers aren’t always the brightest bunch but they’re not automatically going to cast their vote for you because you pay some minor lip service to their favorite football team. Just ask this guy.
Last week, I mentioned how she told a columnist at the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review that she adopted the Steelers as her team in the ’70s, y’know, right in the height of their dynasty. Now Sports Northwest reports she joined a Seahawks fan club “two or three years ago”. No doubt right in the midst of their journey to NFL runnerupdom!
I don’t know how they do things in Alaska, but here in lower 48, we don’t truck no dual citizenship in our sports, lady. You pick a fucking team and you stick with it. Hate on Obama all you want – and I’m sure many of you do – but at least he’s not using sports as a means of cozying up to voters in battleground states.
Tip of the referee’s cap – That no-account sad sack Seahawks fan, Ufford.

First she was seduced by Jack Lambert then TJ Duckett came into her life.

We’ve got a platter with your name on it, Sarah. Come on over to Steeler Country.

I agree Ape. If there’s one thing that really defines a person is their allegiance to their football team no matter what. And if they don’t like football or they are a flip-flopper, then they can go fuck themselves with a red-hot cattle prod.

John McCain would like to remind you unpatriotic, evil and liberal dirtbags that he didn’t have a favorite team b/c they didn’t get football at the hanoi hilton.
September 13th, 2008 at 9:17 am
Iunno, I’ve been a die hard Jets fan for life but I still root for Giants and Bears. Having more than one team is fine by me (so as they’re not in the same conference).
September 13th, 2008 at 9:44 am
So, did the Giants or Bears join the newly formed, as yet unnamed conference?
September 13th, 2008 at 9:53 am
Congrats Aticus, you’re a douche.
September 13th, 2008 at 10:49 am
Remember guys, part of her requisite executive experience was being a sports anchor in a state with no teams, so this broad KNOWS how to pick teams when they’re popular.
September 13th, 2008 at 11:10 am
Aticus, please begin to choke on a bucket of cocks.
That is all.
September 13th, 2008 at 11:38 am
Since when did we start caring about a chick’s view on football? Must be feeling insecure in your fanhood. And until OBAMA learns to untuck his shirt when playing basketball, he gets NO RESPECT from me. And he’s a Chicago boy. Puh-lease.
September 13th, 2008 at 11:38 am
I’d still destroy that GILFlicious snatch.

“Since when did we start caring about a chick’s view on football?”
Aticus, please pass the bucket of cocks on down to BCFuckedUp

So, this lady paid good money to join a Seahawks fan club a few years ago, and now goes public with her love of the Steelers? I can think of only one other person who could do something just as unconscionable: Satan.
September 13th, 2008 at 12:06 pm
John McCain still prefers mob football.
September 13th, 2008 at 12:46 pm
So when the Rapture comes, which teams get left behind?
September 13th, 2008 at 2:36 pm
I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if Caribou Barbie became a Patriots fan sometime in 2001.
September 13th, 2008 at 3:03 pm
“So when the Rapture comes, which teams get left behind?”
Whichever team Kirk Cameron roots for.
September 13th, 2008 at 3:19 pm
Damn Aticus, step on land-mines often?
That Seahawks gear must be really cheap, turned the candydates hand all green.
/costume crown?
September 13th, 2008 at 7:36 pm
I would so totally do her. TOTALLY.
September 14th, 2008 at 12:01 am
I still hate Tina Fey
September 14th, 2008 at 6:44 am
I wouldn’t mind drilling in her oil fields.
September 14th, 2008 at 3:17 pm
Oh Sir BCFunk, may I please watch the Steelers game tonight? I’ll sew up my vagina just for the occasion, if that helps. And then I’ll make you a chicken pot pie. Okay??
September 14th, 2008 at 3:35 pm
If people pick canidates on what football team they root for then they are dumb as a box of sand and probly shouldn’t vote as i see from the mindless babble that you all type use your other head get laid and WAKE UP

No one is voting for someone based on team affiliation, tf. So why must candidates pander as though they do?
/wasting reason on someone who doesn’t believe in punctuation

“No one is voting for someone based on team affiliation, tf. So why must candidates pander as though they do?”
No, but they will vote on race. Which is why McCain and Palin do not have to even bother with Pennsylvania, and especially Pittsburgh (I do not care what the polls say). The average Steelers fan is ok with black guys playing football. They are not ok with a black guy in charge.
September 14th, 2008 at 5:17 pm
Nice try, bitter Pats fan.
September 14th, 2008 at 7:55 pm
You didn’t really address the point that maybe 180K steelers fans total actually still live in the state of PA. That’s not enough to alter the outcome in a swing state. Especially when 120K of those fans are astonishingly racist.
September 14th, 2008 at 8:22 pm
Sea Turds skank.
September 14th, 2008 at 10:40 pm
This Steelers fan/PGH resident is fine with black guys in charge. Tomlin>Cowher.
Unless they are named Kordell.
September 15th, 2008 at 6:46 am
She reminds me of McCain when he subbed the Steelers for the Packers in his POW story to pander to PA voters.

Steelers fans are too racist to vote for Obama? Have you ever actually been to Pittsburgh? Like, you know, the city itself. Driving through Monessen or something once doesn’t count.
September 15th, 2008 at 9:10 am
I think LihueAirport confused Pittsburgh with Boston.
