Pitt fans chant ‘sell the team’ after Pittsburgh Pirates ‘College GameDay’ tribute

The recent College GameDay tribute to the Pittsburgh Pirates sparked significant fan discontent, with chants of 'sell the team' echoing through the crowd. This reaction underscores a broader trend of frustration among Pittsburgh sports fans, particularly as the Pirates struggle in the league. The atmosphere was further charged as the Pitt Panthers faced off against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, a match that carries its own weight in local sports culture. Notably, Pat McAfee's unpredictable commentary continues to draw attention, as seen in previous incidents where he was involved in on-set antics, such as being shoved by Aaron Donald after making a pick. This intersection of fan sentiment and competitive spirit illustrates the passionate nature of Pittsburgh's sports community.
