Oz tells the crowd to contact 10 people before the Steelers game tomorrow. The Steelers don't play this week. Oz knows so little about PA that he doesn't even know when the Steelers are on. (In Western PA, the Steelers are a religion. EVERYBODY knows when they play.) #TrumpRally pic.twitter.com/UrCidu9pkW

Oz knows so little and cares so little about the people of Western Pennsylvania that he had no idea that the Steelers aren’t playing this week.
What Oz actually told the people in attendance was to speak to ten of their friends next Sunday before the Steelers play the New Orleans Saints several days after the Senate election in Pennsylvania.
To those who are unfamiliar with Western Pennsylvania, Oz’s gaffe may seem small, but the Steelers are a religion in Western PA. Everybody, even non-fans, know when the team plays.
The people of Western Pennsylvania see Oz’s gaffe as proof that he is not one of them, and if somebody isn’t one of you, how can he represent you in the US Senate?
Dr. Oz is a slick salesman, but the harsh glare of a Senate campaign will reveal the cracks. In all of his public appearances, Oz can’t keep up the facade.
It is the little mistakes that reveal the truth, as Oz can’t fool the people of Western Pennsylvania.
For the record, Dr. Oz, it isn’t a Steelers game. It is a Steeler game to the people of Western PA.
Oz can’t even pronounce the team name right.
