The immediate reactions were polarizing. Supporters of Tomlin’s decision praised his focus on keeping the team centered on their primary objective: winning games. “Coach Tomlin is right. The Steelers need to concentrate on football, not politics,” tweeted one fan. “Leave the activism off the field.”
On the other hand, LGBTQ+ advocacy groups and many fans expressed deep disappointment and anger. GLAAD (Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) issued a statement condemning Tomlin’s remarks as “insensitive and out of touch with the inclusive values that the NFL strives to promote.” The organization called for the Steelers to reconsider their stance and for the NFL to address the issue promptly.
