If Mr. Simmons had attented a Rams practice while wearing a Steelers jersey, Jeff Fisher might’ve removed his No. 18 Colts jersey and given it to the uninvited intruder.

The Colts have every legal right to kick out whomever they want as long as it’s not based on race, religion or sexual orientation. If they feel that the Steelers jersey will cause a distraction in their PRIVATELY OWNED training facility then said person must leave. The same goes for privately owned stadiums. The owner has the right to refuse entrance as long as it’s not based on race, etc. They choose not to so there’s no PR whiplash. Plus all of the owners share profits, no matter the team.

If the practice facility is publicly owned with no rights given to the team or the NFL to dictate who’s allowed in attendance, the fan has every right to be there.

Who cares if you wear your favorite teams jersey at another teams practice. Personally I would of been grateful for a free Luck jersey, he’s a beast. (coming from a Steelers fan not that it even matters) Well done by the Colts!

I’m not a fan of either team but I think this is awesome. There’s been talk that the Colts are having some trouble selling season tickets (probably because they were manningfans not real Colts fans) so this is a great way to show the loyal fans some love.

Steelers fans rule. Best traveling fans in the world! There are Steelers bars anywhere you go in the world. We rule

==================================

Yes there are steeler bars every where. They also seem to be the bars that cater to, let’s just say alternative lifestyles.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that…

many of you seem to miss the part where he was wearing a jersey of a former pittsburgh steelers and current colts player.
it was a great reaction and a way to bring the fan into the fold. actually a great PR move.

It’s private property. They can throw you out for any reason they want.

I like the way they handled it. He got the attention he was obviously seeking, and everyone got a good laugh.

Lighten up.

When in Rome do as the Romans…. it is a game and what is a game without a little fun…

I once lost a bet and had to wear a Flacco jersey. Worse day of my life but I made it, and my skin didn’t fall off, nor did I convert to be a raven fan(which would have been slightly worse than my skin falling off) …

Technically the removal of a fan from camp should work like charging to go to camp. It means scouts can attend your workout.

Wow there ya go Colts fans now you know what your new coaching staff is really focusing on. lol What a bunch of losers.

Andrew Luck looks to have a lot of talent but the rest of that team is awful!

I really don’t think he was going to kick him out. Well done to all involved for being a good sport about things.

What was conveniently left out, is that Simmons agreed to the jersey swap, if he was able to meet Arians and Moore after practice. Of course, if it were me, I would have held out for a signed Andrew Luck jersey. Might be worth something someday, don’t you think?

Maybe I’ll wear a Mark Sanchez jersey to Pats training camp to try and finagle a new Tom Brady jersey out of the team.

On second thought, I’ll probably just get laughed at with an occasional condescending noogie.

Even if they did escort him out for wearing a Steelers jersey, the fan would have no legal ground to sue the team. It’s like when a restaurants denies service to a customer, it’s private property and they have the right to do what they want with it as long as its not motivated by race, religion, or sexual orientation.

Should have taken it and tried to get Andrew luck to sign after he put it on, then sold it on e bay and called the news and made a huge commotion..

I was there, it was a joke, gm grigson was part of it too, but the steelers fan stuck out like a sore thumb, he was trailer park looking, typical Steelers fan, nice to have a lively coach than robot jim calldwell

Pretty pathetic of the colts to be this insecure. I hope the Colts go 2-14.

If it’s a private facility they can do whatever they like. What kind of jagoff wears the wrong jersey to training camp anyway? Go visit your own team.

Steelers fans “travel well” ? What BS. More like they have bandwagon fans in every state. Funny how they didn’t “travel well” when I was a kid. True Steeler fans that actually live in (or have been to) Pittsburgh are great, but these obnoxious bandwagon fans give them a bad name.

I think this is awesome and shows a connection with the Colts fans. Kind of a team spirit thing rather then we are just here to do our X’s and O’s.

As for a couple of tough guy posts here talking about how they wouldn’t have taken it off and then said they would sue if kicked out- LOL real tough hiding behind that judges robe.
