I am a hometown girl; a Steelers fan through and through. Part of what makes me proud to say I'm a Steelers fan, when I know I will get flack for it since my current job has taken me to New England, is that I can hold my head high and say we are a standup team of hardworking, respectable players and coaches. I commend the Rooney family for building a team of which we can be proud. That's why it was so disappointing for me to see unsportsmanlike conduct and personal fouls in the Super Bowl. Each player is representing not only the franchise, but the town of hardworking folks who are rooting for them locally and abroad. Conduct such as starting fights on the sidelines, and roughing up players after the ball is down made it more difficult for me to celebrate an otherwise amazing win over the Cardinals. Congratulations to the Steelers, and all the hard work and dedication it took to get one for the other thumb! Let's strive for a clean 2009 season, free of unsportsmanlike conduct.
