The steel industry and the Cardinal are both well past healthy and approaching endangered species status.

There's your symbolism; haggard survivors of the industrial age clawing for token victories in the face of extinction.

Put the Carbon Back

The Cardinals are from freaking Arizona -- John McCain country -- an overgrown, overwatered absurdly green and suburban desert.

The Steelers are from Pittsburgh, a former steel town reincarnated into a high tech center, with a deeply-rooted blue collar fan base across the western half of the state.  Their totem, the terrible towel, was dreamed up by a guy who, in his dotage, left the rights to the towel to a nonprofit that runs group homes for mentally handicapped adults, giving the nonprofit millions a year in income in perpetuity.

Who's really got the moral high ground?
