Here is a link to an ESPN message board thread that was started by steelers fans after the Super Bowl.

If the link stops working for some reason the title of the thread is "Steelers haters are ni****s"
The thread starter proceeds to rip the Seahawks and drop another n-bomb. Thread starter also started another thread with similar language.
Taken with other recent actions of Steeler fans, (the belittling of a high school student by his teacher for wearing an Elway jersey, the abuse of Tommy Maddox's children, throwing things on his lawn, etc...). I'm going out on a limb and saying that Steeler fans may be the most hateful uneducated fans in the NFL.
What is more surprising is that ESPN allows that sort of language on its message boards. Now i'm never one for limiting speech, but that type of speech has no place on a message board run by ESPN.
