Happy Wednesday! It's time for this week's social media roundup.
JuJu Smith-Schuster has been trying to get LeBron James to sign with the Steelers for a few weeks. For no real reason. LeBron didn't express any interest in the NFL or setting foot in Pittsburgh in any way, but JuJu ran with the idea for awhile.
Thankfully, his campaign is over:
Sad to say I am dropping out from the race and ending my campaign to sign LeBron this offseason... ? Thank you to all the fans for supporting the movement! ?? #LeBronToPittsburgh @KingJames pic.twitter.com/OnYC2pc0wP

Can't believe he wasn't able to lure him from the Cavs.
William Gay announced that he and the Steelers were parting ways:
Ivan Nova and Jameson Taillon were excited to be named the opening day and home opener starters:
Is a honor for me to be the guy who take the ball for the first time this year!!!! It will be a great season for us and I want thanks the @Pirates @piratasbeisbol for this amazing opportunity!!! Thanks ? #GodFirst #supernova #wegoallin

Honored to get the ball for the home opener! Excited to see PNC and Yinz again soon! Couple more works of good work in Spring, and we’ll be heading north!

Vince Williams gave his thoughts:
I think ppl just look at football players as meat head brutes. I’ve seen ppl call Richard Sherman stupid and he has I think two degrees from Stanford. Smh

It’s not even all pros that get this bad rap, just football players. No one said anything when Mcgregor wanted more money from Dana White.

Some players posted their thoughts on International Women's Day:
Idk how any man could not be pro women. It's crazy when I see guys mistreat ladies, I think to myself like "Did he not have a grandma or mother growing up?"

I grew up with three older brothers and a stay at home mom. When I turned 21, my mom was visiting me in college. We went and grabbed a drink, and she said “this is to me. I raised 4 boys to 21 without any jail time or illegitimate children” #HappyInternationalWomensDay Madre.

All baseball players are the same:
Florida is tough for me cause every raised truck I see I assume is one of my fellow baseball players but then it might just be a Floridian

Ryan Clark knows the struggle:
Real question.... Does anyone know how to fold a fitted sheet for a bed? Why does this seem impossible to me? Am I slow?
