Players Name Steelers' Art Rooney Second-Worst Owner in NFL
PITTSBURGH -- Pittsburgh Steelers owner Art Rooney II was not highly regarded by the players, according to the latest NFLPA Team Report Cards.
Respondents to the survey gave high marks to head coach Mike Tomlin but said the Steelers fall behind other organizations in terms of workplace standards, which led to Rooney being ranked as the 31st-best owner out of 32 in the league.
"There is little confidence among respondents in the willingness of club owner Art Rooney ll to invest in a better workplace, as he ranks second to last in this year’s report," a Steelers-specific breakdown of the report card said.
There are specific complaints outlined in the survey.
First on the list was the lack of a family room or daycare option for their kids on gamedays. The Steelers are one of four teams not to offer such a service.
The Steelers were also one of seven teams who were said to have a weight room that is not better than where players could train off site. Players also felt that the team lacked sufficient staff in the training room to give everyone individualized care.
Ultimately, the Steelers ranked among the bottom third of the league in treatment of families, nutritionist/dietician, lcoker room, training room and staff, weight room, team travel and ownership.
