The Pittsburgh Steelers are currently in shambles and it appears as if the team may need to begin the rebuilding process. Their star running back in Le'Veon Bell held out for an entire season in demand of a restructured contract and now, Antonio Brown is claiming he wants out of the Steel City as well. But, even though the Steelers might be imploding right before our eyes, the Pittsburgh football organization has the support of famed rapper and notorious marijuana enthusiast, Wiz Khalifa.
One of Wiz Khalifa's biggest hit songs to date in "Black and Yellow" has become the theme song for the Steelers and Khalifa has performed for fans in Heinz Field countless times. In many ways, Wiz has become an unofficial member of the Steelers roster as he pops in-and-out of town to show support to his hometown football squad. Let's just hope the Steelers get it together again so, they can make it back into the postseason.
