9. I think it has more to do with divisional rivalries

Most of the Steelers hate comes from states of divisional rivalries. It explains why states east of New York hates the Jets even though they have been irrelevant for awhile.

I respect the Seahawks as well as Russell Wilson & Pete Carroll. I just root against them since they share a division with the Cardinals. Roethlisberger is a big part of why I don't like the Steelers but I generally just root for the other team when the Steelers are playing.
