In a shocking move that’s set to ignite outrage among Steelers fans, the team has made a decision that’s being seen as a blatant disrespect to legendary quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.
According to sources close to the team, the Steelers have decided to retire Roethlisberger’s iconic number 7 jersey… but with a twist. Instead of holding a special ceremony to honor Roethlisberger’s illustrious career, the team plans to quietly retire the jersey during a low-key press conference.
Fans are already taking to social media to express their outrage, with many calling the decision a “slap in the face” to Roethlisberger’s legacy.
“This is a travesty,” said one fan. “Ben Roethlisberger gave his heart and soul to this team for over a decade. He deserves so much better than a quiet, low-key ceremony.”
Others are questioning the team’s motives, wondering if there’s more to the story than meets the eye.
“What’s really going on here?” asked another fan. “Is the team trying to distance themselves from Ben’s legacy? It just doesn’t add up.”
The Steelers have yet to comment on the decision, but sources close to the team say that they’re standing by their plan.
“Look, we understand that fans are upset, but we think this is the best way to honor Ben’s legacy,” said a team insider. “We’ll just have to agree to disagree.”
One thing’s for sure: Steelers fans will be watching this situation closely, and they won’t hesitate to express their outrage if they feel that Roethlisberger’s legacy is being disrespected.
