Coach Mike Tomlin: ‘We come before you standing united as an organization, as a football team’

Coach Mike Tomlin delivered a powerful statement prior to the Steelers practice on Friday night

Powerful.

That is the only way to describe what happened before the start of the Steelers night practice at Heinz Field on Friday.

Before the team went to work, before they began drills and hitting, they put their emotions on display, addressing as one the social injustice that has occurred in our country as of late.

After coming out of the Heinz Field tunnel, the players all went to the visitor's sideline where Coach Mike Tomlin spoke about the injustice, with Steelers President Art Rooney II and General Manager Kevin Colbert flanking him.

His words were heartfelt, passionate, emotional and powerful. They came from deep within, sharing not just his thoughts, but the thoughts of the men standing behind him, players, coaches and staff, all linking arms as one, before being led in prayer at midfield by Vance McDonald.

    Michael Jackson

    Rexbo I know coach personally, he is a honorable man, a god fearing man. He cares about pleasing God, loving his wife, raising and loving his children, having passion for his community in Pittsburgh (especially with the kids), integrity and hardworking values that compel him to coach in the NFL in which has brought him great success and is great joy in FOOTBALL. It is really his life.

I’m not even a Steelers fan but I’ve always loved Mike and my respect for him continues to grow every day

Kyle Smith

Wow, a statement from a sports organization/person that WASN’T dripping with arrogance, ignorance and division.

I think those elites lately have been lamenting their own country, but Tomlin’s message was positive and all-encompassing, and more in-line with what will actually spread positivity… unlike other people’s messages lately.

    Rexbo

    Did WE LISTEN TO THE SAME SPEACH? Are you HIGH?

    Kyle Smith

    @Rexbo Hey man, I’m done with all the nonsense too. The NBA, the Saints putting an accused sexual predator’s name on their helmets… stupid.

    But I don’t have much to complain about here

    Frank Crooker

    @Rexbo Mike Tomlin has always had his nose stuck into politics where it should not be. If Mikey had spent more time worrying about winning football games, the steelers would have at least 2 more Super Bowl trophies. Instead he spends time trying to be Barack Hussien Obama Jr.

    @Frank Crooker what are you talking about?? He has always been about football only and avoided anything else, other than occasionally talking about Jesus

    Frank Crooker

    fibonacci you mean like the $ 50,000 per dinner fund raiser he hosted in 2016 for loser Hillary Clinton.

Brent Phillip

This just made me an even bigger Steelers fan

We love you coach Tomlin and stand strong behind you and the rest of the team! Very well said sir.

Adam Miller

Rexbo’s opinion is part of the reason why there’s no peace in our country… he is a sell out to our nation!!!

JAMES J. JEFFERS

With This it becomes evident that those who said Mike Tomlin wasn’t a Great Coach might be right… He’s a Magnificent Leader!!! Coach is too Shallow for Such a Man of his Caliber. He just made those critics look illogical with this speech alone. Either you can add or you can’t! I can see why the Rooney’s picked him. I’d Go To War with That Man!!! Hoorah!!!

Chris P

We stand with you coach!!!

Reed McLaughlin

My Team, My Coach.

Loved every second of this

in the spirit of feeling like you have to say something, i dont have a problem with what was said. he obviously chose his words very carefully. he said things everyone should be able to get behind. Im glad he didnt make it political. or bring up any of the propaganda bullshit blm is. “for the people that are hurting, we stand with you.” he aint talking to the rioters. now having said all that. i hope this is the end of it. and it was enough for all the players to be satisfied and get to playing football. hopefully tomlin doing what he did was taking the bull by the horns so he can control the locker room and keep them focused. I also appreciate them collecting for a prayer at the end. another sign this isnt the status quo anti white political statement.

    Blackguy899

    I believe that’s exactly what hes thinking. He wants to get ahead of it but also not let it become a distraction for the team. Make a statement and then lets get back to football.

    Zack Duncan

    wow… just wow

W. Dearth

So it is possible to give a speech on social issues without being divisive. There may be hope for us yet.
