The Steelers debuted the Terrible Towel on December 27, 1975, in a playoff matchup against the Baltimore Colts, and it has since become a larger-than-life symbol of Pittsburgh sports — evident by its journeys to unbelievable locations such as Mt. Everest and space.

Real Madrid manager backs Antonio Rüdiger's claims of being racially abused during Club World Cup match
Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso said he believes Antonio Rüdiger's claims that his defender was subjected to racist abuse during the game against Pachuca in the FIFA Club World Cup on Sunday, adding that a FIFA investigation is underway. Rüdiger and Pachuca's Gustavo Cabral clashed near the end of the match at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina, with Los Blancos leading 3-1. The two players came close to one another before Rüdiger spoke directly to referee Ramon Abatti and pointed towards Cabral. After separating the players, Abatti was seen crossing his arms in what is part of FIFA's protocol against racist abuse. According to the FIFA website, the gesture is made when the referee 'observes or receives a report of abuse' and is part of its three-step process to combat racist abuse. The game finished moments later, with Real recording its first win at the Alonso said that Rüdiger had told him that Cabral had racially abused him. 'We support Toni and we'll see what happens. The FIFA protocol has been activated and we support him,' Alonso said. 'It's unacceptable and we believe what he said. They're investigating it now.' Following the game, Cabral denied making a racist remark to Rüdiger. 'It was a scrap, we collided, he gets a kick, he said that I hit him with my hand and then there was an argument and the referee made the sign of racism,' the 39-year-old told reporters. 'There wasn't anything there. 'It was only a word we say all the time in Argentina. We say 'c***n de m****a' (a profanity used to call someone a coward) all the time. I told him the same thing and it ended there. It ended a bit hot because as we were going to the dressing room, he was trying to challenge me to a fight and, well, in that moment you've got your pulse racing at a 1,000 (miles an hour) and we were both going towards the corner where the dressing room is and we argued a bit there, nothing more.' CNN Sports has contacted FIFA for comment. Pachuca head coach Jaime Lozano told reporters afterwards that he didn't know much about the incident. 'We didn't speak about that in the changing room. Yes, we spoke, but exclusively about the match. I haven't spoken to Cabral about this,' Lozano said. 'I cannot give you an explanation about it because this is the first (I have heard of) this news. Not justifying it at all, but I will speak with him and knowing him for a while, this has never happened with him or with any of these Pachuca players.' Rüdiger has been subjected to racist abuse in his career before, including for Real in 2023 and when he played for Chelsea in 2019. Writing in The Players' Tribune in 2021, Rüdiger wrote that 'nothing ever really changes' with racism in soccer despite anti-discrimination campaigns. 'There is an investigation, but nothing really happens. Every once in a while, we have a big social media campaign, and everybody feels good about themselves, and then we go back to normal,' the Germany international wrote. 'Tell me, why did the press and the fans and the players all come together to stop the Super League in 48 hours, but when there is obvious racist abuse at a football stadium or online, it is always 'complicated'? 'Maybe because it is not just a few idiots in the stands. Maybe because it goes a lot deeper.' CNN's Patrick Sung and Matias Grez contributed to this report.

Hozier's Two Biggest Singles Tie One Another
Hozier's 'Too Sweet' ties 'Take Me to Church' as his longest-running hit on Billboard's rock and ... More alternative charts, as both have spent 64 weeks on the rankings. WEST HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA - MARCH 02: Hozier attends the Elton John foundation annual viewing party with Tequila Don Julio at West Hollywood Park on March 02, 2025 in West Hollywood, California. (Photo byfor Tequila Don Julio) More than a decade ago, Irish rocker Andrew Hozier-Byrne — known mononymously as Hozier — became a global superstar with his breakout single "Take Me to Church." The tune, which called out the hypocrisy of religious institutions, was noted as controversial to some, but also hugely commercially successful all around the world. The hit turned Hozier into one of the most exciting new names in his field. Now, 10 years after "Take Me to Church," "Too Sweet" has helped the musician stray from one-hit wonder status, and it's the latter track that is in the midst of a thrilling period on the charts in America at the moment. 'Too Sweet' Ties "Take Me to Church" "Too Sweet" remains a huge smash across more than half a dozen Billboard charts in the United States. The track is still living inside the top 10 on many of the company's rock and alternative tallies, including those focused on streaming activity, pure purchases, and overall consumption. As "Too Sweet" holds on and earns its sixty-fourth stay on both the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs and Hot Rock Songs rankings, it ties "Take Me to Church" as Hozier's longest-running hit on those lists. 'Too Sweet' Vs. "Take Me to Church" Both "Take Me to Church" and "Too Sweet" may have spent 64 weeks on Billboard's rankings of the most consumed rock and alternative tracks and rock-only tunes, but their performances on the two tallies are not exactly the same. On the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart, "Take Me to Church" ruled for 23 weeks, while "Too Sweet" racked up 17 stays at No. 1. The opposite is true when looking specifically at the Hot Rock Songs chart. On that ranking, "Too Sweet" has managed to reign for 63 of the 64 weeks it has spent somewhere on the list, while "Take Me to Church" scored just 23 frames at the summit. Hozier Could Replace Billie Eilish at No. 1 "Too Sweet" could easily return to the No. 1 spot on the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs ranking at some point, as it's currently not far from the throne, sitting in the runner-up space. At the moment, only "Birds of a Feather" by Billie Eilish is beating Hozier, as her poppy cut dominates for a forty-fifth nonconsecutive stint.
