Letter to the editor: Pirates, Steelers owners go for money, not championships

We know a rip-off when we see it, and we see it year after year. I’m talking about Pirates owner Bob Nutting and Steelers owner Art Rooney. Twin brothers of another mother. These billionaire bums shortchange Pittsburgh by making little effort to compete for championships. The City of Champions is the City of Chumps.

These two worship at the altar of the almighty buck. Two different sports but the same playbook. They employ the worst or cheapest coaches and get the predictable results.

They won’t change, so we must change or the insanity continues. Stop supporting them; they only keep interest alive by selling the nostalgia of 50 years ago. Today’s teams are incapable of winning with this ownership malfeasance.

Make no mistake, they’re lining their pockets with gold sucked out of our local economy. If you don’t believe it, let them open their books. Say yes to common sense and no more to this undeniable travesty. Wake up!
