I'm soo glad this is on here! I was in the parade :) and you showed us at the begining for the most part, thank you! (I'm in the band with the black and white uniforms)<3
For the record, I didn't mind the Burgh when I lived there. I interned at Shadyside Hospital and have a lot of close yinzer friends...I even married a yinzer!
But it was just too slow out there for us to stay put.
If you divide the fucking numbers you fucking child you'll see Pittsburgh has the upper hand. Ohhhh wait you are from Philly so are more than likely uneducated. I'll do it for you:
Please, that was a long far more complicated story then that. Pittsburgh has always supported ALL of their teams, win or lose. We still go to Pirates games, even though we know the eventual outcome of 75% of them. When the Steelers were losing in the 80's and somewhat in the 90's no one abandoned them. And if you actually lived in Pitt, you would know that 95% of us were PISSED they were trying to move the Pens.
Yes, we give more attention to the Steelers, just like Detroit does the Flyers.
Pitsburgh does have the pretty soft fans still you guys had lemieux and jagr and won the cups twice with them and still didn't support the team after they left! Lemieux came out of retirement to get the fans back and became an owner to save the team! If you didn't get lucky and be the worst in the league long enough to have Crosby and Malkin your team would've been bought and moved long time ago. The year Crosby came the team was almost moved even. I hope your fans don't leave when Crosbys gone.

Compare how the Pittsburgh fans celebrated with the "celebration" the Anaheim Ducks got 2 years ago.
When the Ducks won the Cup they had to hold their parade in the arena parking lot because the local residents voted against having a parade.
Even then the Ducks had to give away free hotdogs and pop as an inducement to get people to attend the celebration.
