Independence Day. Today is the day that Americans celebrate the birth of what has become known as The United States of America. For most people, today’s festivities will consist of yards games, grilling with family and friends, shooting off fireworks, and watching Joey Chestnut win his 15th Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest.
How can we relate the topic of independence to our beloved Pittsburgh Steelers?
Oh, am I glad you asked.
You see, Pittsburgh founded their football team in 1933, making it the seventh-oldest franchise in the NFL, and the oldest franchise in the AFC.
