The phrase “stick to sports” highlights the tension between fans and athletes regarding political affiliations, as exemplified by Steelers players Mason Rudolph and Miles Killebrew attending a Trump rally, leading to fan backlash. In response to complaints, the Steelers emphasized that individual player choices do not reflect the team’s views, a stance aligned with the organization’s historically Democratic support. Ultimately, while players have the right to express their beliefs, the Steelers focus remains on winning games, regardless of political views, as illustrated by their interest in Aaron Rodgers despite his outspoken politics.
