Steelers coach Mike Tomlin has finally decided to put his foot down on the whole JuJu Smith-Schuster TikTok thing. The Steelers receiver has made it a weekly tradition to go out to his opponent’s logo, and film himself doing a TikTok dance. Here he was dancing all over the Cincinnati Bengals logo prior to last night’s embarrassing loss to the division rival.

After heavy scrutiny from the media and fans alike, Mike Tomlin has decided to end JuJu’s TikTok party.

“It’s about respect,” Tomlin said today during his presser.


Sideaction’s Latest:


I agree with Mike Tomlin here, and I’m frankly a little surprised that it took him so long to call out Smith-Schuster for this whole stunt. Look, I get it, JuJu is a young guy trying to interact with his younger fan base, but stomping all over your opponents team logo every week isn’t the way to do it.

Frankly, it just comes off as embarrassing and a little sad when you do all that dancing, and follow it up with a lackluster effort against a lowly Bengals squad. Mike Tomlin is one of the most respected coaches in the NFL, and he demands that same respect out of all of his players. I’d be shocked if we see JuJu Smith-Schuster dancing for the TikTok any time in the near future.
