Miguel Angel Gomez Tellez shares this incredible photo from his Steelers Mexico fan club:
“Happy 5 de mayo
Steelers fan club name: “BLACK AND YELLOW MONCLOVA”
City: MONCLOVA
State: COAHUILA
Country: MEXICO
There are many Steelers fans in Monclova! We hope to make many friends with you.
‘BLACK AND YELLOW’ was created in early, 2011. The Club currently consists of over 200 people in our city. WE SEE EVERY PITTSBURGH GAME TOGETHER.” — Miguel
Diego Delgadillo and members of Steelers Family Tapatíos wave their Terrible Towels!
“En México no cualquiera comprende el fútbol americano y la pasión que éste conlleva. ¿Pero nosotros?
Guadalajara is among the biggest cities in Mexico, and besides Tequila, Mariachis, Charros and Tortas Ahogadas, it is also house of one of the greatest Steelers fan clubs in the town. We are around 70 friends, all from different ages, jobs, religions and status. But what we share makes us a family. We usually surprise people when showing around in a designated bar to enjoy a game. The house full of black, white and bee jerseys seems inexplicable for many people; they often ask us if we used to live in America.
Soccer is very popular here, but anyway, the businesses watch themselves forced to take the local teams out of the TV for us. We wait from February to September to take our terrible towels out again. Is the best season of the year and we know it.
We’ve recently heard that a study shows that the Steelers have more supporters in our country than the Rams in the United States. Jamás estuvimos tan orgullosos.
This year, we are happy to have the chance to see the Steelers in San Diego on October 12th, for many of us, including me, it will be the first, but surely not the last time we will see the team we love from inside the stadium. We are crazy about OUR Steelers. We may live in Guadalajara, but somehow, a part of our hearts is there, in Pittsburgh, waiting for us inside the Heinz Field. #HereWeGo — Diego Delgadillo (@dsdgtz)
Also Today:
A Shout-Out for Anna Sophie!
Anna Sophie was featured on the website in April of 2014. Her father, Estaban, wanted to thank Ben for the autographed photo he had sent her and to update us on her condition! Sophie needs our thoughts and prayers again as she is now dealing with a post-transplant infection:
“Anna Sophie just survived a second bone marrow transplant (last year). She is still recovering, however she got Lung GVHD (post-transplant inflammation of the small air tubes in the lungs) and is fighting for her life again.
She celebrated her birthday on May 4th. Please pray for her Steeler Nation!!” — Esteban Manuel González Cárdenas
We will Esteban!! Sophie, you stay strong!!!
