No, not Fox News. Parade Magazine. Now, I thoroughly understand that this is not a significant source of serious journalism. But how can anyone possibly justify doing a feature on Superfans that totally ignores Steeler Nation?
To add insult to injury, the Cosmopolitan-style quiz, "Are You a Superfan?"refers to the ultimate Steeler fan who was laid out wearing his Steeler gear, relaxing in his Steeler lounge chair in front of the television. But it doesn't SAY this happened in da 'burgh. And really, where else could it happen? Oh, sure, there have probably been copycat funerals (just as there are copycat towels that just aren't all that terrible), but it happened here first.
Parade is encouraging fans to log in and vote for the NFL team with the biggest fan following at Parade.com/superbowl. Should we flood the website or boycott it in protest?
You call the action, fearless leader....but eihter way....Parade (and any of thier holdings) you'll never get my biness!!!
