Jeremy Hill made some Steelers fans mad when he threw a Terrible Towel to the ground on Sunday afternoon. Hill scored a touchdown, found a towel, pretended to rip it, then spiked it to the ground during Cincinnati’s 24-20 loss to Pittsburgh.
It was a mix of a dude celebrating and trash talking, which would make any fan mad. But Steelers fans are super defensive of the Terrible Towel, so when Hill brought that into the equation, it was obviously going to upset some folks from Pittsburgh. One decided to call him out on this, saying “Don’t disrespect the towel.” Hill saw this and decided to respond in a tweet that has since been deleted, mostly because he dropped an f-bomb in a tweet.
Hill probably won’t get in any trouble for this, mostly because he deleted the tweet fairly quickly. But with how the NFL likes to get on people for stuff, anything is possible.
Despite this minor slip up, please don’t stop celebrating, Jeremy Hill. He’s one of the NFL’s more underrated dudes when it comes to having a blast after a touchdown, as he evidenced last week when he found the end zone and paid tribute to J.R. Smith in Cleveland.
