Steelers sale update

Here is another story published today in the Post-Gazette. Stanley Druckenmiller told the paper he would not move the team out of Pittsburgh if he was the owner. Like that would EVER happen. Moving the Steelers would be like the Cubs or Bears leaving Chicago or the Packers moving from Green Bay.

Another interesting note at the end of the story. There were concerns among the Rooney brothers that dividend payments had been decreasing over the years. According to the paper, shareholders have been getting less because of increasing player costs.

Here is the statement on the ownership transition from Pittsburghsteelers.com.

Training camp begins July 28. Anyone think this will be a distraction?
