    Some of you may have read the story but it deserves a thread. The Steelers organization ordered food from a catering company to be delivered to vote counters in Allegheny County. Earlier this year Coach Tomlinson and the Steelers were involved in increasing voter participation. This thread is not political nor does it take a side.
    But we need to appreciate the quality of the Rooney family and the people in charge of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Hold your heads up high Steelers fans as the team you support is lead by high character individuals and one of the greatest families in team sports, if not the greatest.

    Is that why it’s taking them so long to count the darn things?

    A write off? If so, we haven’t other sports teams done the same. ‘The Steelers are a class organization. And if you can’t appreciate that fact then you are clueless.

    I thought that voting and counting votes was part of a POLITICAL process and therefore this is a political post in my opinion. I too read the article and formed my own opinion without having to see more about it on this board. JMO

    I don’t see this as political as much as it is civic engagement with the community of which the Steelers are a part. no different than visiting sick kids in hospitals or talking to kids at schools, or honoring first responders.

    It may be taking them longer to count if it was the Brazilian Steakhouse. They gorged themselves and had to sleep it off.

    Of t
    If the best retort you have is to pick out a typo then you have no retort at all.
    ‘Sorry if you didn’t want civic workers fed. Pretty sad statement on your part. And ignorant.

    A deductible expense, but still an expense.

    It’s going be a large expense, for as long as it’s taking.

    Mike Tomlin is in his 14th season as Head Coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Your typo doesn't hold water.

    Lighten up Francis. Maybe you should ask Santa Claus for a sense of humor under the tree.

    Hats off to the poll workers and the Steelers for helping them. They process red and blue votes. Good for the Steelers...and this is not partisan one way or the other.

    That was a different thread because (now deleted) certain against the rules comments were creeping in. We have an eye on this one, but so far, so good.
