Pittsburgh Steelers fans have been going crazy online after a reporter sent out an incredibly insensitive tweet about their QB situation.
TribLIVE reporter Chris Adamski tweeted that Mason Rudolph ended the 2021 season as the backup quarterback and that in the offseason “The only other QBs the Steelers had retired and died.”
“Mason Rudolph ended last season as the QB2.
The only other QBs the Steelers had retired and died.
Rudolph nonetheless begins the next season as the QB3.”
After a major backlash online from what he said, he would soon get back on Twitter and issue an apology. He apologized for disrespecting Haskins and his family.
“I referenced 2021 Steelers QBs in a tweet. It’s obvious I used a poor choice of words. I apologize. I’m sorry it hurt people. I didn’t want to act as if Dwayne Haskins didn’t exist. He did – and by all indications he was a warm person people were drawn to and enjoyed being around
It’s gut-wrenching I disrespected the deceased and his family.”
