Pittsburgh Steelers defensive end Cam Heyward is the latest to complain about the uniform policies of the NFL.
Heyward was fined by the league for a tribute to his late father by writing “Iron Head” on his eye black for a recent game.

Cam’s father is the famous Craig “Iron Head” Heyward, a former running back with the Saints and Falcons among others. Iron Head died in 2006 because of cancer. The younger Heyward was fined $5,787 for the gesture.
Heyward’s teammate DeAngelo Williams also had a gripe with the league recently after they would not let him wear pink to honor his late mother, who died of breast cancer.
