Steelers squash rumor that franchise legend Joe Greene died
NY Post
Don’t close the curtain on “Mean” Joe Greene.
The Steelers had to quell a rumor that the franchise legend and Hall of Famer had died at 79, telling TMZ the report is “not accurate.”
Longtime NFL reporter John McClain independently verified that Greene is still alive.
“Fortunately, Joe Greene has NOT died. I got that from his family,” McClain posted on Friday. “That report was fake news. Joe is doing great!!!”
The Daily Mail reported that the unfounded rumor spread Friday and is the latest in what could be a troubling trend of entities having to correct erroneous reports about individuals’ health.
The outlet cited X user Johnny Cadillac, who has almost 61,000 followers, as the catalyst for the rumor spreading after he posted: “This day keeps getting worse!! R.I.P. Mean Joe Greene!!! 😔 🙏.”
