Pittsburgh wide receiver JuJu Smith-Shuster has announced that he will no longer dance on his opponent’s midfield logo, or his own, before games.

I should not that apparently the act was not disrespectful while the team was 11-0, but it became disrespectful after the team’s 3-game losing streak. Mike Tomlin is a buffoon.
