PITTSBURGH, PA — Steelers linebacker Devin Bush has drawn considerable criticism of a July 4 retweet of a video showing a cat appearing to fall to its death. Bush since has made the tweet unavailable. Before that occurred, however, Bush indicated he was amused by the video. "The only time I seen a cat not land on its feat. OMG," screen captures show Bush posting. The tweet came just days after Bush appeared to criticize two teammates - wide receivers JuJu Smith-Schuster and Chase Claypool - and anyone else using the TikTok platform. There has been no official response from the Steelers regarding Bush's retweet, although offensive lineman Zach Banner addressed it on his personal account.
