Every other person with an opinion and a computer or microphone is sharing their opinion on this. I'm not delusional enough to think that I can add anything that hasn't already been said. Even Charles Barkley is weighing in. Let me guess Charles... "It's turrible to criticize him"
It's starting to remind me of those times when the evening news comes on and the first 15 minutes is nothing but murders, thefts, stocks falling, and even a bad weather forecast. I doubt that I'm the only one that thinks "Isn't there any good news in the world?" Well, believe it or not, there are good news stories and things going on involving sports medicine that don't have to do with Jay Cutler's knee. I've even found a couple of them and will share them with you all.
I know that I wrote extensively about the Steelers yesterday but this is a well-written and relevant article. As someone who was part of a graduating Athletic Training class that was 75% female, this topic often came up.

I think that the Steelers deserve all of the praise they receive regarding their efforts in diversity. Most people know that the Rooney Rule (where a minority candidate MUST be interviewed for all open coaching positions) came from Pittsburgh's owner. They also were the first and are the only NFL team to employ a female athletic trainer, Ariko Iso.
Now, some shameless alma mater promotion...
