This week's Pittsburgh Sports Article is coming, for the first time, from a blog. Although there was some decent writing out there in the Pittsburgh newspaper wires, I found an article I couldn't pass up on [Blitzburgh Blog]. The article, titled "Why Pittsburgh isn't America's Team," is a legit bashing of any desire for the Steelers to become the Dallas Cowboys.
The argument spurs from the back and forth on ESPN Nation Blog regarding which team is the true "America's Team." Although there are Steeler Fans across the nation, Blitzburgh makes a great argument for not wanting to be identified with lazy, flashy, quick fix America. Instead, we should be proud to be Pittsburgh's team. A team playing for a hard-nosed city, with hard working people that are diligent and get the job done.
I love the argument; it's a clever rejection of any competition with the Cowboys or any other team for that matter. The Steelers, and Pittsburgh, are above the Cowboys and the general cultural amalgam that America entails. Pittsburgh's team is good enough for me-in fact, it's much better.
It's a great read, as always, from Blitzburgh-I'd encourage anyone to check out the shtuff they're postin over there.
