The only reason they hate Hines cause he gave back what they shot at him. He is and was no dirtier than any of those Ravens players who take some of the cheapest shots out there. Back in the 70′s you would not call these shots cheap. You are just pissed that he was on a 6 time winning SUPER BOWL team and stopped you from getting there. Hate is such a harsh word but what do you expect from the most CLASSLESS FANS I HAVE EVER SEEN. You cannot go to a Ravens/Steelers game without them using words worse than hate. This is just a game and for the word hate to be used against another human is DISGUSTING. The man is NOT a football player anymore so GROW UP RAVENS YOU SUCK

not surprised at that. Funny actually. The real reason they hate Hines is because the ravens could never beat the steelers when it counted. Oh and the fact that Hines Ward cleaned Ed Reeds clock way to many times.

As a lifetime steeler fan.
Congrats on tough win ravens.
Ravens players i respect.
Went to first steelers ravens game last year. Some really disrespectful fans but also some cool ones. I have seen pitt fans the same way.

Hines also hates Ravens fans:

“Guess what Ravens fans: I HATE you too but I will miss you guys the most.”

The relationship between the man and the city is clearly chock full of class, on both sides.

This is all about the guy and not the team. If it was Jarome Bettis on that plane, no one would have disrespected him because he was a class act. Ward was always a dirty player and no one will forget that. In all honesty I’m not a fan of the steelers or the ravens but I will say this;

Brian Billick is famous for saying, “I HATE that guy…but I’d love to have him on my team.”

That is the best compliment you can give a guy like Hines. I have to say I feel the same way. Tough, hard-nosed guy. I understand why most fans outside of Pittsburgh hate him, but he is cool with me, even as a Browns fan. I respect game, and I respect the game.

I will give Hines cvredit for one thing… at least he has a sence of humor and common sence. Unlike the mouth breathers from steel town.

How does this site let people attacj this city and it’s citizens and remove comments WE make about the state of OH?

Like about 90% of what Hines says on TV, that story was pure bul#sh*t! This guy is pathetic as a broadcaster. I thought Emmitt was the worst ever, but as Cosanza reminded us “suddenly a new contender emerges!”

Says more about the fans than anything else.

How can you “hate” an athlete? These guys basically are entertainers.

Morons, he wasn’t looking for civility, he’s loving it! Bmore will get to win their superbowl in Nov, the only one they ever will win. Thanks for making Philly look high class.

In Baltimore we can respect rivial football players, but we do not respect cheap shot artists and POS human beings. If anything horrible were to ever happen to Hines Ward he would deserve something 10 times worse.

Surprised he didn’t get another DUI on the way from the airport to the hotel.

One of the dirtiest NFL players…and now he wants love.

Well after years of cheapshots and after-the-whistle finegling, what would you expect?

The man thrived on getting under the skin of raven players and fans. Now he expects civility?

Puh–leez!

Not true. I’m the consummate quintessential nobody — and am on the ass end of mass derision on a regular basis.

I bet they wouldn’t care about Ward if he hadn’t given out so many cheap shots.

I can’t believe after all those years Hines actually expected anything better out of Ravens fans. Typical behavior.
