Steelers fans fume over Aaron Rodgers signing: ‘He sucks’
NY Post
Four MVPs, 10 Pro Bowls and a Super Bowl ring be damned – some Steelers fans are furious over the arrival of Aaron Rodgers.
Pittsburgh’s signing of Rodgers has received a mixed bag of reviews in the Steel City, with many fans voicing their frustrations over the move.
Concerns have ranged from the quarterback’s age (41), to the short-term nature of his one-year, $13.6 million contract, to his anti-vaccination beliefs.
“No, not optimistic at all,” lifelong Steelers fan Ron Stadler, Jr. told USA TODAY’s Jarrett Bell. “I wish he’d have retired already. He sucks.”
The most viral example of the frustration came from one fan on social media, who filmed himself burning his autographed Minkah Fitzpatrick jersey while declaring he would “never be a Steelers fan again.”
“Yinz decide to pick up Aaron Rodgers, I can’t do this anymore,” said the fan, @greencheckdegen on TikTok. “You keep killing us.”

The Mets took their time, too. Buck Showalter was fired on Oct. 1, 2023. It was believed they had one solid target in mind as his replacement in Brewers manager Craig Counsell, but Counsell wouldn’t be available for exactly another month. The wait seemed like only a wink-wink formality. He and David Stearns had worked together for years in Milwaukee.
