The Commissioner also shared his vision for the growth of girls flag football, noting the milestone that was recently achieved when the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association (PIAA) officially sanctioned girls flag football as a high school sport in Pennsylvania – a designation that the Steelers have advocated for at the state level for some time.
Hall of Fame running back Curtis Martin also participated in the special moment. Speaking with young athletes from both teams, he shared his early football experiences playing at Taylor Allderdice High School and later at the University of Pittsburgh, and the role football has played in overcoming personal adversity.
“The Steelers were honored to work with the NFL to organize today’s visit to Clairton High School,” said Dan Rooney, Steelers Director of Business Development & Strategy. “Clairton is an iconic football community where both the varsity football and girls flag football teams exemplify the true spirit and impact of western Pennsylvania football.”
