Pittsburgh Steelers fans are not unique in abandoning their enthusiasm for players once they leave town—or even before, which recent players such as Kevin Dotson and Kendrick Green have found out, and which Kenny Pickett will soon learn as well.
The trio of semi-recent draft picks, all traded within the past year, converged on Friday night. Green expressed his hope that Pickett, now with the Philadelphia Eagles, will “ball out”. Steelers met him with a volley of derogatory insults, which prompted Dotson to respond.
“[B]ro they hating on you wishing [Kenny Pickett] good luck and wonder why people don’t mess wit them when they leave Pittsburgh”, he wrote in reply to Green.
