Over the course of the month of October, during which the NFL celebrates and supports the cause of breast cancer awareness, research, and prevention, the Pittsburgh Steelers have had three of their players receive fines for utilizing an aspect of their game day attire to bring awareness to a cause of their own.
It started with defensive end Cameron Heyward, who received a fine for writing “Iron Head” on his eye black, which was the nickname of his father, a successful collegiate and professional football player in his own right.
Craig “Ironhead” Heyward lost his own battle with brain cancer nearly a decade ago.
