Are the Steelers Ireland's Team? | Steelers Morning Rush
Description
Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League.
Today, it's the team's present and future of international play. The team's trip to Ireland last September was a rousing success, and NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said the NFL will be going back to Dublin as a result.
Steelers vice president Dan Rooney said on Wednesday that the team wants to return to Ireland, as well, but it's not clear how that will dovetail with other international priorities in Mexico and Germany.
Michael McQuaid of Pro Football Ireland joins the show to talk about the Steelers' potential fanbase in Ireland and how this year's game has impacted Irish NFL fandom.
Alan breaks it down.
