Will Steelers punish CB Beanie Bishop Jr. for cleat stomping Pitt logo? Insider weighs in
The Backyard Brawl rivalry is alive and well — as Steelers CB and former WVU Mountaineer Beanie Bishop stomped and dragged his cleats on the Pitt logo at UPMC Rooney Sports Complex.
The Steelers share their training facility with Pitt football — which could force the team to take action against their second-year CB. However, one insider close to the situation argued that may not be the case.
According to Andrew Fillipponi of 93.7 The Fan, insider Jeff Hathhorn '…does not expect Beanie Bishop to be disciplined by the Steelers for his cleat stomping incident at Pitt.'
General field quality concerns aside, you have to wonder if this would even be a discussion had the Steelers not been forced to share a training facility with the University of Pittsburgh in the first place.
Should Bishop face consequences for his actions against the University of Pittsburgh — or is this just the cost of doing business with players who know the Backyard Brawl all too well?
