The Steelers have sent a letter to fans who are angry about some players appearance at President Donald Trump’s rally last week in West Mifflin. According to the Post Gazette, the team sent an email to fans and season ticket holders who complained about quarterback Mason Rudolph and special teams captain Miles Killebrew at the rally to announce a partnership agreement between U.S Steel and Japan’s Nippon Steel. In the email, the Steelers say alumni and current players “make their own individual decisions” and do not represent the views of the organization. Fomer Steelers running back Rocky Bleier also appeared at the rally and presented President Trump with a Steelers jersey with the number 47 and proclaimed him an “honorary Steeler”. The report says Rudolph and Killebrew were not scheduled through the Steelers. According to the report, it caused outrage among many Steelers fans, who sent letters, emails and social media posts to the team.
