<p style="font-weight: 400;">Former Pittsburgh Steelers star running back Le’Veon Bell posted a TikTok video in which he effusively praised former President Donald Trump after Bell appeared with Trump at a rally in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, on Saturday.</p>
<p>Bell, who played college ball at Michigan State, was in three Pro Bowls while in the NFL. He appeared on stage with Trump along with former Steelers star wide receiver Antonio Brown, who played with him between 2013 and 2018.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;I spent two days with Donald Trump. and the experience was way more than I could ever imagine,&#8221; Bell titled the video.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;It’s been the craziest two days of my life,&#8221; Bell said. &#8220;Not only the rally; the rally was crazy. I’ve played in big football games, playoff games, Super Bowls. I never had a feeling like I had two days ago at that rally when I was behind that mic in front of America. Like maybe more than just America, bro. I was in front of, like, millions of people, bro, and let me tell you how real Trump is: One: I didn’t know I was gonna be called up on the stage; I did not know that. I knew AB was gonna do his speech &#8230; I had zero clue that [Trump] was gonna call me on stage. Not only did he call me on stage, shake my hand, you know what I’m sayin’, he talked to me a little bit.&#8221;</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;I’m thinking that’s gonna be it,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;I’m cool. I’m cool with that; got my little photo op, I’m cool. &#8230; He looked me right in my face, said, &#8216;You got anything to say you can say it.&#8217; He hold his arm out like this, bro. And he said, &#8216;The mic [is] yours.'&#8221;</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;I got so nervous, bro, I got shook,&#8221; he recalled. &#8220;I see the mic wide open, I’m like, damn, but, this is my opportunity. I’m like, shocked, I can say whatever I want on this thing? I didn’t want to embarrass myself, say nothin’ too crazy.&#8221;</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;Basically what I’m tryin’ to say is, bro, Trump a real one,&#8221; he insisted. &#8220;He a real one, bro. He ain’t gonna try to make me say anything. &#8230; Off the love. He might want to win the election, but I’m tryin’ to tell y’all &#8230; I coulda went up there &#8230;. I coulda messed up everything. That’s why you gotta understand, Trump is a real one, bro.&#8221;</p>

<p>Sunday&#8217;s NFL wild card game will be postponed until Monday as Buffalo, New York, braces for blizzard conditions.</p>
<p>Both the league and Governor Kathy Hochul (D-NY) put out statements on Saturday announcing the change and noting that the chief concern — as meteorologists predict heavy snow and the usual accompanying complications with regard to roads and travel — was public safety.</p>
<p>&#8220;I’ve been in communication with @NFL commissioner Roger Goodell regarding the dangerous conditions in Buffalo this weekend. In consultation with our emergency response teams, @BuffaloBills leadership, and the NFL, the Bills game will be postponed to 4:30 pm Monday,&#8221; Hochul announced via X.</p>

<p>Former Super Bowl champion Rashard Mendenhall doubled down after getting blasted for saying he&#8217;s &#8220;sick&#8221; of &#8220;white guys&#8221; commenting on football and proposed an &#8220;All-Black vs. All-White Bowl&#8221; instead of the annual Pro Bowl.</p>
<p>In a Monday post on <a href="https://x.com/R_Mendenhall/status/1736876721448837474?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">X</a>, the retired Pittsburgh Steelers running back said he&#8217;s &#8220;simply tired of being berated by people who aren&#8217;t experts in [the] game&#8221; after being called &#8220;racist&#8221; by followers for slamming &#8220;white&#8221; NFL analysts.</p>
<p>&#8220;We [just] pretend like I&#8217;m the only athlete tired of fans talking trash?&#8221; he added. &#8220;You [this] upset over a single tweet. What about us? Like me or not, I&#8217;m a GREAT in football. This proves my point, [you] can&#8217;t speak on ball alone.&#8221;</p>

<p>Reading through comments to the former Steelers&#8217; latest post, people hit back and wrote that they were &#8220;upset that you&#8217;re a racist&#8221; and wanted him to apologize for the initial viral post.</p>
<p>&#8220;You literally made a living playing a game because of the fans and then you say racist things to those same people,&#8221; one person replied. &#8220;You&#8217;re not the victim here.&#8221;</p>
<p>Another added, &#8220;You&#8217;re the one who made it about white people. Don&#8217;t complain now if you&#8217;re getting dragged. Frankly, you deserve it. Everybody knows why you chose to assign a [color] to the generic non-athlete with an opinion. Racist.&#8221;</p>
<p>While a third wrote, &#8220;People aren&#8217;t upset over the majority of that tweet&#8230;They are upset over you bringing race into it. You could have easily called out any non-college athlete, non-pro football player, etc… but you turned it into a race focus. That&#8217;s on you.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;If that&#8217;s how you really feel, just own it,&#8221; the person added. &#8220;You&#8217;ll alienate yourself, but you&#8217;ll be honest if that&#8217;s the case. If it&#8217;s not really how you feel, apologize and restate. Either option is legit as we have a right to free speech here.&#8221;</p>
<p>Mendenhall played for the Steelers from 2008-2012 and won a Super Bowl ring in 2009 when the team beat the Arizona Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII, <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/sports/super-bowl-champ-sick-average-white-guys-commenting-football-proposes-racial-bowl-game" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox News</a> noted. However, he failed to get a second ring after he ended up <a href="https://steelerswire.usatoday.com/2022/06/19/pittsburgh-steelers-rashard-mendenhall-sb-45-fumble/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fumbling</a> the ball in Super Bowl XLV following a hit by Packers&#8217; <a href="https://twitter.com/Football_Dude84/status/1736806726924742713?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Clay Matthews</a> and the eventual team loss to Green Bay, 31-25.</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">In the wake of the tragic collapse of Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin last Monday night when he went into cardiac arrest on the field, the Pittsburgh Steelers were ripped by football fans after a Steelers player celebrated a sack by giving his teammate mock CPR.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Early in the fourth quarter of their game against the Cleveland Browns, with the Steelers leading 28-14, Alex Highsmith of the Steelers sacked Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson. As Highsmith lay on the ground after the sack, a teammate rushed over and performed chest compressions on him before lending him a hand to help him stand up.</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">One Steelers player may have behaved badly, but last Friday, Levi Wallace, Tre Norwood, Terrell Edmunds, and Cameron Sutton of the Steelers <a href="https://www.steelers.com/news/sharing-love-and-support" target="_blank" rel="noopener">brought armfuls of toys</a> to a daycare center that Hamlin adopted as his project when he played at the University of Pittsburgh.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“It&#8217;s just a way that we can give back,” Wallace said. “Just to be able to give back to kids that he works with and his community he loves so much. We&#8217;re doing it just to honor him and show our love for him that we&#8217;re supporting him here in Pittsburgh. Just hearing the great news that he&#8217;s doing better, I think comes just from a grateful place. I&#8217;ve seen how hard he works on and off the field and so anything that I could do here in Pittsburgh, I&#8217;m here to do.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“Doing this means a lot to me,” Norwood said. “Damar and I developed a friendship over the past couple of years through football. Being here in Pittsburgh, you see how much the city loves him, how much he gives back to the city. With all his family is going through right now, we just want to help out a little bit. I am smiling because of the good news that he is getting better and still sending prayers to him and his family each and every day.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“It&#8217;s doing anything I can to just show my support,” Edmunds echoed. “That&#8217;s my dawg. I had him in my prayers and everything. Any way I can support him or his family, show them that I care and that I&#8217;m there for them, I want to do.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“This is beyond football. It&#8217;s bigger than just the game,” Sutton added. “This is truly a brotherhood, regardless, if you know the individual personally or just came in contact with him across the league. D. Ham is affiliated with this community having played here. His foundation, not just his work, but his foundation individually, everything that he has done here, and cities elsewhere as well. Just doing something special as an organization in the sense of giving back, coming together, and just offering a positive uplift. That&#8217;s all we can do right now. Just keep doing the right things to push him in the right spirit.”</p>
