🏈 On this day in 1933, the Pittsburgh Steelers were founded by Arthur J. Rooney. Now the seventh-oldest franchise in the NFL, the Pittsburgh team was known as the Pirates until 1940. Rooney changed the name to the Steelers to honor Pittsburgh’s steel industry.
Rooney paid a $2,500 franchise fee to the NFL for the team that is now worth several billion dollars.
A North Side native, Rooney was involved in several sporting ventures. He promoted fights for the Rooney-McGinley Boxing Club and was an avid horse racing handicapper. He has been rumored to have won the Steelers’ NFL entry fee betting on horses.
