We're way past putting Antonio Brown and the Pittsburgh Steelers in one sentence

The takes on Antonio Brown have all become pretty much the same. Almost everyone agrees he’s being a little much in his antics to get whatever he wants from whatever team, or league, he’s a member of.
But for some reason, the Pittsburgh Steelers continue to be brought into a conversation they’re no longer a part of. Brown isn’t even attacking teams anymore, he’s moved on to bigger and better things. So, why would we continue to put Pittsburgh and AB under the same telescope?
The correct answer is we wouldn’t. Everyone in Pittsburgh has moved on. Antonio Brown no longer makes headlines, the city has accepted he’s gone and at this point, they’re just trying to focus on football.
Yet, people continue to talk about the Steelers. Blaming Pittsburgh for whatever Brown has turned in to over the last year.
Which makes no sense. No other player has become what Brown has become while in Pittsburgh. Le’Veon Bell has even apologized for some of the things he’s done.
So, it’s time to end the AB talk. It’s over. Pittsburgh has moved on and so should we. At this point, putting the two together makes basically no sense.
