dave submitted 2 stories related to the Steelers. First, according to The Denver Post,
a teacher harassed a student wearing a Broncos jersey because he was a Steelers' fan.
A die-hard Steelers fan and teacher at Beaver Falls High School made Vannoy, 17, take a midterm test on the floor because he was sporting a John Elway No. 7 jersey. The honors ethnic relations teacher had Vannoy sit in a circle of desks, then instructed his classmates to throw paper at him.
"I was humiliated and shaking. I couldn't finish my test," said Vannoy, a Broncos fan even though he's a native of Pittsburgh Steelers country.
Teacher John Kelly thought he was "just messing around" with Vannoy, telling him he couldn't sit at any desk in his class Friday.
In the other story (via E-League forums) an employee found his Steelers' flag tossed in a trash can, so he
took some revenge on his coworker's cubicle during lunch (
