The NFL lacks self-awareness or apparent sympathy when it comes to its uniform policy, but they solved their Cameron Heyward problem with the one commodity they have in abundance — money.
Pittsburgh Steelers defensive lineman Cameron Heyward met with the NFL and agreed not to wear the “Iron Head” eye black that drew attention and earned him a controversial fine from the league.
According to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com, the league reduced both the fines the Steelers defensive end incurred for his “Iron Head” eye black to honor his late father who died of cancer.
