PITTSBURGH — The fallout continues after the Pittsburgh Steelers game on Sunday and the team’s decision to stay in the tunnel at Chicago’s Soldier Field during the national anthem.
The fan reaction has been mixed from support for the players to outraged fury over their decision.
But in one Washington County town, some say one fan’s response may have crossed the line.
Paul Smith, the chief of Cecil Volunteer Fire Station #2, posted a derogatory response on Facebook, which directed a racial slur at Steelers’ head coach Mike Tomlin.
Fire chief "embarrassed," "regrets" using racial slur against @steelers coach Mike Tomlin.
