POMMAH - in case you are still in China

Postby IronCity__Man » Tue Jan 18, 2011 12:25 pm

Pommah - not sure if you are still in China or even near Shanghai but I read this in Peter King's article:

I want the men in suits to meet Rob Bonatucci, a supplier for Bombardier Transportation, a Pittsburgh-based company that builds train cars. Bonatucci, traveling for business in China, watched the game at a Steelers bar in Shanghai, at 5:30 in the morning Sunday. "There's a bar in Shanghai called The Camel where I'd say about 125 of us watched the game,'' Bonatucci said from China. That's right: There's a Steeler bar in Shanghai. "Chinese girls dressed as cheerleaders, Terrible Towels and all these expats or people traveling on business dressed in Steeler stuff. If you're a Steeler fan, you're not missing this game. When they came back in the second half, it was just like you'd get in the states -- people jumping up and down, high-fiving, going crazy. These people live for these moments.''

I want the men in suits, and the players, to know that's what they're fooling around with here.

I am. Unfortunately I was in the air during the game. Couldnt help it, tix were booked well in advance.

I do wanna say, though, in a city of 25,000,000 people its not surprising there are stillers fans. Jeezus this city is like 10 new york's all put together.

Thank god I'll be home in time for the Championship game.
