Just Call Him Mr. Steelerstahl – Pittsburgh Mayor Changes Name

In case you haven’t heard, the Pittsburgh Steelers are in the playoffs. The whole town is getting behind them, including their mayor, Luke Ravenstahl.
Notice the team name tucked into the mayors name? The “Ravens.”
Yah, well guess who the Steelers play this Saturday? Yep – the RAVENS. The mayor, true blue Steeler fan that he is, felt that having a last name that mentioned the opponent was NO GOOD. So he’s asked to be called “Mr. Steelerstahl” for the duration of the week.
He said, “On behalf of the Steelers Nation, I’ve decided to remove the word ‘Ravens’ from my name just like the Steelers will remove them from the AFC Championship.”
Ouch! Smackdown!
My question is, why doesn’t he keep the name even AFTER the game this weekend? That’s what a true fan would do!
