When Pittsburgh Steelers president Art Rooney II spoke to select members of the media earlier this offseason to address the state of the team following the conclusion of their 2018 season, he was asked to state his opinion on the characterization of his organization as a ‘circus’ with respect to the number of headlines that their players have generated for reasons not pertaining to performance on the field.
He said at the time that he didn’t understand where that characterization came from and said that it was nonsense from his perspective. So when he did the rounds on the local radio channels yesterday, you can imagine that he was asked to expand on his thoughts on that subject.
