Be Warned About the Steelers Offseason
USA TODAY Sports

At what point can we figure out that some platforms love to stir drama, and on social media, there is nothing sweeter than a sip of chaos tea - especially about the Pittsburgh Steelers. 

We're four days into the offseason, and already Steelers Nation is going nuts over a simple tweet with false information that has set the platform on fire. And while half the fanbase sees through the vail, the other half is having a difficult time believing the reality of the situation. 

Which is all right. Not everyone needs to be their own fact-checker, but it's important to assure yourself you're checking with someone who is before believing a social media post or a random headline posted somewhere. 

Big Twitter is a necessary evil at times. It's a great outlet for people and one that many members of a fanbase can celebrate by how many fans they're able to reach on a social media platform. At the same time, it's a situation where people can take advantage of their following and push false narratives. 

That's what's happening for the Steelers right now, and it's a perfect time to let everyone in on a little warning.
