There are always training camp fights every year but the Pittsburgh Steelers are usually quiet in that department. Although, Alejandro Villanueva and Cam Heyward got into one—for an unusual reason.
While speaking with the media about the scrum, the Steelers offensive tackle said the fight with Cam Heyward was over “Game of Thrones“. Villanueva was quick to make a joke out of the situation.
“There’s no place for fighting in training camp. It’s childish and unprofessional for both of us,” Villanueva said. “Again, it’s just a very different opinion than he has of the show.”
According to Villanueva, he believed the final season of Game of Thrones was lacking and could have been better. As for Heyward, he liked how the show ended and disagreed with Villanueva. Whether that is the exact reasoning for the fight remains to be seen but it doesn't matter.
Watching Villanueva keep a straight face as he explains the reasoning for the fight is pure comedy.

This offseason, the Steelers seem to be preaching the concept of being a tight-knit team. There was a ton of drama that occurred in Pittsburgh last year and the Steelers want to avoid that.
Between the Le'Veon Bell and Antonio Brown situation, the Steelers were a circus in the locker room. Now, neither of those guys are on the roster as the team focuses on the 2019 season.
Maybe by the end of training camp, Villanueva and Heyward can come to an agreement about the ending of Game of Thrones.
