Steelers first to have cheerleaders, but now don't see the need

The Steelers had cheerleaders in the 60’s. I didn’t know that.

Steely -> Steelers, duh…
Mc -> a tribute to the Irish components from our steel town…
Beam -> Jim Beam, because Pittsburgh is full of drunks…

“Steel Beam” sounds better…or even just “Steely”. “Steely McBeam” sounds like something a 3rd grader thought of.

They can try to make Steely McBeam thrive in Pittsburgh, but chances are the high costs associated with the union mascot workers, along with foreign competition, will force him to be shut down and replaced with a lesser quality, but significantly cheaper Chinese mascot.

That might be the best thing to happen yet…

haha. ppl are so pissed over this. i dont really have much of a stand on it. its fine for the kids, but i agree it is kinda weird. i liked it better w/o him, but if kids like him, then its cool with me.
