In an ideal world, the home fans of an NFL team are respectful to the fans and family members of the visiting team on a weekly basis, but that is not always the case. And, according to the wife of a Cleveland Browns player, that was not the case during the team’s Week 14 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers at Acrisure Stadium.
After losing to the Browns on their home turf a few weeks back, the Steelers were able to get revenge in Week 14, beating the Browns in convincing fashion, 27-14.
Following the game, the wife of Browns offensive lineman Wyatt Teller took to social media to express her frustration with the way her and the wives of other Browns players were treated by Steelers fans during the contest.
“The fans in Pittsburgh today were so blatantly disrespectful to me and the Browns girls,” Carly Teller wrote on X. “I’ve never felt so attacked by people who I literally did nothing to. Very sad/embarrassing behavior.”
The Steelers and Browns have a long, heated history with one another, and that no doubt extends to the division rivals’ fans.
But that’s no excuse to act in a disrespectful manner, especially to the family members of players who are just there to cheer on their loved ones. Sadly, not all fans agree with that, something that is abundantly clear based on what Teller’s wife tweeted out on Sunday afternoon.
What can’t be lost in this situation is the fact that not all Steelers fans subscribe to what some were allegedly up to on Sunday. Don’t let a few bad apples spoil the bunch.
