The Pro Football Hall of Fame selection committee made their five Modern-Era choices for the 2020 class on Saturday in Miami and while they rightfully elected former Pittsburgh Steelers safety Troy Polamalu, their snubbing of former guard Alan Faneca for a fifth conservative year was downright embarrassing.
A Saturday snubbing of Faneca has to be a result of several Hall of Fame selection committee members being biased against the Steelers and already having a serious case of black and gold fatigue entering the day already knowing that two former members of the Pittsburgh organization, safety Donnie Shell and head coach Bill Cowher, would already be members of the 2020 class to be enshrined in Canton later this summer and in addition to Polamalu, a no-brainer first-ballot selection this year.
