NFL announces 'Art Rooney Award'

[Lady Steel]

Annual award will recognize a player who best demonstrates on-field sportsmanship.


On Oct. 21, the NFL announced the introduction of a new annual award designed to recognize players who “exemplify outstanding sportsmanship on the field. On Dec. 9, the league announced the initial group of 32 nominees – one from each team – who would be considered for the award in its inaugural season. Today, the NFL announced that this annual sportsmanship award will be named after Steelers founder Art Rooney Sr.

And so it will be that the annual Art Rooney Award will be presented to the “NFL player who demonstrates on the field the qualities of great sportsmanship, including fair play, respect for opponents, and integrity in competition,” according to the league’s news release.

Oh, how I wish.

Alas, it's not to be. At least not this year.

Each team will nominate one of its players during the season, and the Steelers’ nominee for 2014 was Troy Polamalu.
