‘Mr. Pfizer’ Travis Kelce is challenged by Aaron Rodgers to a debate about the COVID-19 vaccination with RFK Jr. and Faucimenu.

Tuesday night, as the NHL’s Penguins began their season, contempt for Matt Canda, the offensive coordinator for the Steelers, spread to PPG Paints Arena.

Eleven days remain until the Steelers return to action, but Pittsburgh sports fans wasted little time in demanding the firing of the team’s coach when the Penguins lost 4-2 against the Blackhawks. They erupted in cries of “Fire Canada.”

Given that several of the Blackhawks and Penguins players are Canadian, the cries might have bewildered them.

Jenna Harner, a sports reporter for WPXI, captured the chanting during the second period, when the Pens were leading 1-0.

“Fire Canada” has served as something of a rallying cry for disgruntled Steelers supporters who are tired of their team’s ineffective offence.

During the Steelers’ 17-10 victory over the Ravens on Sunday at Acrisure Stadium, similar chanting were heard.

After the first five weeks of the NFL season, the Steelers are 3-2; however, they have this week off due to a bye.

Pittsburgh’s next game is against the Rams in Los Angeles in Week 7.

As the offence faltered and the Steelers got off to a poor start, Canada’s seat heated up, but the victory over the Ravens probably bought him some more time.

Despite leading the AFC North, the Steelers’ offence is among the worst in the NFL.

Matt Canada is one of the least popular people in this city and is maybe the most despised person in Pittsburgh.

They are third in the league in terms of total yards (268.2), rushing yards (80.2), and points (15.8) per game.

“Right now, this city doesn’t have many people that are like Matt Canada. On “The Pat McAfee Show” on Tuesday, Mark Kaboly of The Athletic stated, “It’s probably the most hated person in the city.” It makes me sad to say. Although he is making an effort to carry out his duties, little progress has been made.
