not really a hardcore football guy, but I respect Steeler fans

Hi everyone, I was invited to this place by a longtime steelers fan. The reason being that I am active on other sports forums but am increasingly frustrated by the nazi-level of moderation and censorship, stupidity going on to the point where the only discussions taking place are "Yea! go team! woo!"

I'm not a hardcore football guy, but I follow and I've noticed that Steeler fans are kind of "real" about stuff. i don't know why, i don't know the history of Steelers that well and neither the city. But I have noticed a lot more adult reasonable fans coming out of your circles. So i respect that a lot.

I like to discuss sports and have debates around interesting topics, basically. I like to curse about it once in a while without offending everyone. i like to have opinions about controversial topics without offending everyone. so hopefully this is an arena i can do that in. and i also would like to discuss non football sports as well.

The reason why I'm explaining all this is to show the proper respect on the forums to the steeler fans. I am an outsider, I want to have some fun, but I want to do it with respect. just let me know if i cross the line and stuff.

if it helps, i think the Patriots* are the spurs of the nfl. and that's not really a compliment.

i don't fing care if roethlisberger has off court issues, kobe has off court issues also and i think he's the best basketball player I've ever seen. when it comes to sports, i care about skills and performances, and i don't freaking care or follow any of the gossip stuff.

that's all i can think of for now. i'll probably be walking on egg shells for a while, but this forum looks really fun, to say the least...i mean embedded videos/images and cursing?! fuck yea.

thanks for the post and welcome to the board!

I've been here for a short while and have found that they are a great group of posters. Enjoy!

Welcome to Thunderdome!

Welcome to SX respect4steelers. One thing that separates us from other forums is that we care more about community than allegiance. It doesn't matter if you're not a Steelers fan or even a football fan. We have a lot of different forums that don't relate to the Steelers or even the NFL. We're pretty laid back. As long as you abide by our COD, you'll fit right in.

We even have *GASP* a Ravens fan on our board. He's Jewish and he likes dogs a little too much but we still love him!

All jokes aside welcome to Steelers Xtreme! I think you'll find that people here have great senses of humor. It's a great place to shoot the shit, or talk football just the same.

welcome to the board...happy posting!
