As he explains, Heyward doesn’t wish to be a distraction “to my teammates or the Steelers organization.” He also writes he will honor his father in other ways, including leaving his eye black plain on gameday.
Heyward was going to be subject to over $11,000 weekly fines had be continued to wear it.
