Them’s fightin’ words – New England Patriots vs Pittsburgh Steelers

How a Dad who lives in Rhode Island builds team loyalty for his hometown team…

I was born in Michigan and lived everywhere from Maine to California as a kid, but I’ve lived in New England since I was 9 years old.

My Nana, my Mom and her 6 siblings were born and grew up in Boston.

My husband was born in Providence, Rhode Island.

My 4 kids were all born in Providence and all live in Rhode Island with their families.

7 of my grandchildren were born in Providence – Patriots’ territory – and 2 were born in New York City.

My son-in-law was born in Pittsburgh but lives in Rhode Island with my daughter and their 4 sons.

These little guys are 2 of their 4 sons, all Steelers fans…

vs.

Fans and football and “jackasses.”

It makes for a lively rivalry.

    Being born and raised in New England, I have been a long time fan of the Pats. I was raised with the team and they are my second love.

    Just to be clear…I’m in agreement with my son-in-law Matt about being loyal to your team.
    He’s loyal to the Steelers, as well he should be….
