And Canadian too!

Legit, of the last 20 years, here are all of the Canadian players I can name in the league, off the top of my head:

N'Keal Harry
Nate Burleson
Christian Covington
Tyrone Crawford
Laurent Duvernay-Tardif
Jon Ryan
L.P Ladouceur
Danny Watkins
Chuba Hubbard
John Urschel
Randy Chevrier
Chase Claypool

And I know I'm missing a BUNCH more.

Who in that list, is known for being a dick or a dirty player? Only one, Claypool.

LDT is a doctor and even took a year off to work in COVID units in Quebec, FFS. Urschel quit to get his PHD at MIT or whatever and is helping further analytics for the sport. Hubbard has already shown that he has deep morals and is proud of his background/tries to promote it.

Claypool? Takes to thuggin' on the field and acting like a completely whiny POS.

It's DEFINITELY the Stoolers that, "corrupt," the players; Hilton has numerous interviews this year where he's said (IIRC) that he's happy to be out of Pittsburgh and his, "BYE! BYE!" and interviews from yesterday, seem to paint a picture that he wasn't a fan of the team/its fans.

Speculation on my part, but there are a ton of trends and evidence to show this being the case: die-hard OSU fans have also pointed to how Shazier changed once he was on the team.
