'Steelers legends endorse Kamala Harris': Fox News drops report before Trump attends game

Donald Trump is attending the Pittsburgh Steelers football game Sunday night as they face the New York Jets, and Fox News preempted the game with a surprising report about a Vice President Kamala Harris endorsement.

Trump made headlines on Saturday when he confused what day the Steelers game, which he would be attending, was happening. Then the following day, before the game actually began, the conservative Fox News network frequently watched by Trump posted about a major endorsement for Harris.

"Ahead of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's appearance at Sunday's Pittsburgh Steelers game, two of the franchise's legends, and the family of another, have endorsed his opponent," the report states.

It continues:

" Jerome Bettis, 'Mean' Joe Greene and the family of the late Franco Harris all publicly supported Democrat Kamala Harris on Sunday."

Fox goes even further by quoting Bettis, who reportedly said, "I know this city and I love this city – we work hard to make things happen. No hot air. No bull. This is what defines the Steel City – and it’s the opposite of what Donald Trump stands for."

The report also quotes the family of Franco Harris, the late running back , as saying, "Hard work and integrity are the bedrock of Western Pennsylvania and are values my father instilled in me. He taught me that true greatness is achieved by being a part of a team and that leadership is defined by the actions taken to help the whole team succeed. He would be greatly honored to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris because she shares this belief. She champions ideals my father stood for: improving education, building good jobs, supporting labor unions and making sure everyone gets a fair shake."
