Republican presidential nominee former President Donald Trump watches the first half of an NFL football game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the New York Jets in Pittsburgh, Sunday, Oct. 20, 2024.
Trump arrived about midway through the first quarter and was greeted by a small crowd of supporters wearing Pittsburgh jerseys toting a banner that read “Trump Nation.” He later waved from the suite, with some fans chanting “USA.” A female fan wearing black-and-gold — the Steelers’ colors — jumped onto the field in the third quarter carrying a pro-Trump sign, briefly disrupting play. She was quickly escorted from the field by authorities.
On Sunday, the Steelers distanced themselves from taking any sides on Trump’s attendance, with club spokesman Burt Lauten noting Trump was the guest of a suite holder and not the team. Franchise icons and Hall of Famers Joe Greene and Jerome Bettis and the family of late Hall of Fame running back Franco Harris, by contrast, endorsed Vice President and Democratic nominee Kamala Harris.Brown, a star during his nine seasons in Pittsburgh from 2010 to 2018, forced a trade to Las Vegas in the spring of 2019 after a series of public missteps, including famously opting not to show up for the team’s 2018 season finale.
