A story on former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Terry Bradshaw changing his political leanings is going viral on social media just months before the 2024 election. The four-time Super Bowl champion is an analyst for Fox NFL Sunday.
Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin isn’t shy
The Steelers have had notable icons state their political leanings in the recent past. Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin has helped fundraise for Democrat candidates.
As previously noted on GH:
Mike and his wife Kiya, have made numerous donations to candidates for the Democratic Party. The Tomlins gave $70,000 to Obama’s Victory Fund in 2012. Mike hosted a luncheon for Hillary Clinton in 2016
Tomlin also wears his political beliefs on his sleeve. He wore clothes last season that said, “Justice, opportunity, freedom, equality, NFL.”
While Tomlin is proud to publicly state his position on politics, Bradshaw is becoming more shy.
Per a 2020 article in the Business Jet Traveler by Margie Goldsmith, Bradshaw said he was formerly a Republic voter, but changed sides:
“I’ve been a Republican, but now I’m a registered independent. I don’t want to alienate anyone, and the minute you say, “I’m a Democrat” or “I’m Republican,” you’re kicking off the other side. I want the best person [in the White House], and I’ll pick the one who’s most like the way I feel,”
Bradshaw was talking about political parties. It’s unclear if his views on social or economic issues changed before the 2020 election.
Bradshaw’s new beliefs go viral on social media
Here is a sample of the comments that were posted after Bradshaw’s quote from 2020 went viral on social media the previous few weeks.
