History Of The Pittsburgh Steelers: A Football Team In The NFL
The Pittsburgh Steelers are a football team in the NFL. They were founded in 1933 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Pittsburgh used to have lots of steel factories so that is where the Steelers got their name. The Steelers started out as a very bad team and it took years for them to have a winning season.

When they were first starting out, the Steelers would have a good season here and there but weren't a great team. But in the 1970’s is when they became a very good team. It started with drafting a player named Joe Greene and hiring coach Chuck Noll. After three years of Noll drafting players, the Steelers became a good team. In a few years, they went from going 1-13 in 1969 to 11-3 in ‘72. The Steelers have been a pretty good team ever since

    Directly after the end of World War II, the United States faced a time like no other—the Cold War. The fear of communism and the totalitarian Soviet Union grew rampant, and the possibility of an impending all-out nuclear war gripped American minds. During this time, the fear of a breach in national security heightened, and a loyalty review program in the government was introduced by President Truman. Soon, this practice crept into society, as everyday citizens undertook the responsibility of “policing” each other—determining each other’s loyalty, with suspicion constantly clouding one’s mind. Amidst this, American historian Henry Steele Commager, a product of the University of Chicago “…where he received his Ph.B. and M.A. in philosophy…and returned for his Ph.D.” ("Commager, Henry Steele”), stepped onto the scene to dispute the anti-communist crusade he noticed…

    Slavery was one of the most important yet catastrophic things that ever happened in his-tory. Leonard Pitts in “Others’ Roles in Slavery beside the point” that was written in the Atlantic Journal-Constitution on July 16, 2003 responds to multiple emails based on slavery and is ex-pressing his irritation towards slavery. He takes the time to distribute blame to everyone and de-scribes the way African kings sold their own people but that still wasn’t a way to justify the way people were treated unfairly. It was a time period full of hate and despair coming from all sorts of places in the world. Although, it was an event that was nearly inexplicable because people would be seen as property rather than the human beings…

    American football as we know it originated from rugby played in Britain in the mid-19th century. The person who Americans consider the “Father of American Football” is Walter Camp. Professional football can be traced back to 1982, when there was a $500 contract for the Allegheny Athletic Association and the Pittsburgh Athletic Club to play a game against each other.
