The Pittsburgh Steelers are seemingly distancing themselves from Mason Rudolph's political allegiances after the quarterback hit a rally for President Trump on Friday ... emailing a reminder to fans that their current and former players' personal views do not speak for the entire organization.

Rudolph, as well as teammate Miles Killebrew and former Steeler Rocky Bleier, took the stage at No. 45-47's event near Pittsburgh ... and at one point, even gifted POTUS with his own custom team jersey.

According to Front Office Sports, their cameos ruffled some feathers with some season ticket holders ... and the team issued a response to anyone raising concern over it all.
