“This is how I feel — if you want to see the Pittsburgh Steelers, invite us when we don’t win the Super Bowl,” Harrison said. “As far as I’m concerned, would’ve invited Arizona if they had won.”
Maybe I'm just completely missing his point, but dude, he's not inviting the Pittsburgh Steelers because he's a big fan who waves a yellow towel on Sundays in the fall; he's inviting you because your team won the championship last year. Your statement leaves you appearing to be a buffoon that is not aware of that tradition.
No different invite than every other football, baseball and basketball team has received for decades. Yes, Arizona would have been invited had they won last year - and in fact Detroit would have been invited had they won last year too.
If he is trying to say 'don't use us for votes, I'm not a political pawn', then that's fine - but he should be a little more clear in his statement. If he only wants congratulations from long-time diehard Steeler fans - great, go for it (even if your teammates did show up on Today, Leno, Letterman, etc.) Though I am curious if he did the same thing when the Steelers beat the Seahawks a few years ago.
The biggest problem I have with this is that his message and motivation is unclear. It doesn't change how I view him as a player or the Steelers as an organization, but I just find the whole thing very odd - because I don't know what he's trying to say.
