JuJu Smith-Schusters dance parties are over. After the Pittsburgh Steelers were on a losing streak, Smith-Schuster vowed not to dance on opposing team logos, according to ESPN’s Brooke Pryor.
Smith-Schuster has been involved in the ritual for some time but recently had a change of heart.
JuJu says he’ll stop dancing on logos to improve the team.
“I danced for me when we were unbeaten, I danced when we lost our three games. I’m not going to change who I am. … I didn’t see it as disrespectful, but it’s for mine Fans on social media “

Smith-Schuster said he didn’t want to disregard other teams while dancing. He just saw it as a fun thing for his fans to enjoy on social media.
JuJu Smith-Schuster’s dance drew the wrath of the opponents
The Steelers’ opponents didn’t see it that way. Ahead of Monday’s game, Cincinnati Bengal’s security exclaimed Vonn Bell Smith-Schuster and called his dance routine “disrespectful”. Bell said he planned to hit Smith-Schuster hard during the competition and then followed up on that threat. Bell scored a clean and monstrous hit against Smith-Schuster at the start of Monday’s game, which resulted in Smith-Schuster fumbling around. The Bengals fixed that problem and the game played a major role in the Bengals’ 27-17 surprise against the Steelers.
With the loss, the Steelers fell to 11-3 a year. After winning the first eleven games, the Steelers have lost three games in a row.
After the game, Steeler’s trainer Mike Tomlin said he would speak to Smith-Schuster about his dancing. If Smith-Schuster’s comments on Wednesday indicate this, Tomlin’s message has reached the broad recipient.
If the Steelers head to Cleveland in week 17, don’t expect Smith-Schuster to dance on the Browns logo.
