Steelers defensive lineman Cameron Heyward recently wanted to honor his late father, Craig, during his team’s Week Four game against the Ravens. And so he did, applying the words “Iron” and “Head” to his eye black.
And, inevitably, Cam Heyward has been fined for the gesture.
“Got fined for honoring my Dad who bravely fought cancer on my eye black,” Heyward said on Twitter.
Heyward is the second Steeler this week to take issue with the league’s refusal to allow players to honor family members beyond the narrow exception for pink in the month of October.
