Steelers' Cameron Heyward Fined For Honoring Late Father

The NFL continues to show their heartlessness when it comes to “uniform violations.”

Pittsburgh Steelers defensive end Cameron Heyward took to Twitter on Wednesday to tell people he was fined for writing “Iron Head” on his eye black in honor of his late father, Craig “Ironhead” Heyward, who spent 11 years in the NFL. He died in 2006 of bone cancer at the age of 39.

Got fined for honoring my Dad who bravely fought cancer on my eye black.
