Things have gotten a bit sour for the Pittsburgh Steelers since dropping three games in a row in what was an undefeated NFL season up until week 12. Their wideout JuJu Smith-Schuster equally was feeling the heat when opponents began to hit him harder due to his pregame ritual of dancing on top of their logos.
JuJu Smith-Schuster told reporters today that he did not feel he was embarrassing opponents but rather creating content for his social media pages: “For me, I was dancing when we were undefeated, I was dancing when we lost our three games. I’m not going to change who I am. …I saw it more as not disrespect, but it’s for my fans on social media”
The Pittsburgh Steelers were on the verge of greatness as they were very close to an undefeated season, but all that has changed since their loss to Washington, which was followed by losses to the Bills and Bengals. As for JuJu Smith-Schuster, he became a marked man for his actions and now looks to be taking a back step.
JuJu Smith-Schuster will stop dancing on opposing team logos
In the 27-17 defeat to Cincinnati, Smith- Schuster was hit hard by safety Vonn Bell, the Bengals Twitter account made reference to the play when Bell ran into him hard and the tweet stated that Bell had knocked the ball off of the hands of the “TikTok star.”
Smith-Schuster went on to state “For the betterment of myself and my teammates, I’m going to stop dancing on the logos”. Bell on the other hand stated: “It’s kind of disrespectful at the end of the day. But they’re on top right now so you can’t really say nothing right now. We just gotta go out there, between the lines, go out there and hit him and let him know where he stands.”
According to sources the Steelers organization wants to stop giving opponents any more fuel and that Smith-Schuster should stop antagonizing opponents. JuJu Smith-Schuster’s contract with the Steelers expires at season’s end and he will be a free agent.
