Pittsburgh Fans Chanting About Philly While Hosting the NFL Draft Says Everything About Their Season
Pittsburgh is hosting the 2026 NFL Draft right now. It should be a moment for the city to shine, a chance for Steelers fans to get hyped about the upcoming season and show the league what the Steel City is all about. Instead, the fans at the draft are too busy chanting about their hockey team getting absolutely demolished by Philadelphia.
Yeah, you read that right. While the NFL Draft is happening in their backyard, Pittsburgh Penguins fans are still so twisted up about their first round playoff series that they're starting "Fuck The Flyers" chants. And honestly? That tells you everything you need to know about where this city is right now.

The Penguins haven't won a playoff series since 2018. That's not just a drought, that's a famine. And this year? They're staring down a 3-0 hole against the Flyers in the first round. The Flyers are faster. They're more physical. They're deeper. They have better goaltending. They're just a better team across the board, and every fan in Pittsburgh knows exactly what that means.
The Penguins have no answer. The Flyers are controlling every aspect of this series, and there's nothing Pittsburgh can do about it. That's the reality these fans are facing while they're supposed to be celebrating football.
A City Stuck Looking Backward
Pittsburgh used to have success. That was a while ago though. Right now, the city is struggling across the board, and that's a hard pill to swallow when you're hosting one of the biggest events in sports. The fans should be focused on the Steelers, on the draft, on what's next for their football team. Instead, they're drowning their sorrows in memories of better days and angry chants about the team that's currently embarrassing them on the ice.
That's just life in Pittsburgh in 2026.
