Steelers president Art Rooney II releases statement on racism and injustice

To say 2020 has been trying might be an understatement as it pertains to the state of our world/country. After the coronavirus pandemic kept residents indoors around the globe, the United States has seen protests and riots in cities across the country after the death of George Floyd.

During these times, professional athletes and teams have been doing their part in helping to make it clear their organizations don't stand for, or tolerate, racism or injustice within their walls.

Wednesday, Pittsburgh Steelers team president Art Rooney II released a statement about not just the trials the country is facing, but also his pride in his players for standing up and speaking out.
