The Rooney's have owned the Steelers since they started in the 1940's. The players love them because they treat them right. I met Art Rooney, Sr once and it was like talking to your grandfather. He loved football, but more importantly he loved his players like they were his sons. He passed that down to his kids and I think that's why the Steelers have been so successful over the years. The players love playing here. Once a Steeler always a Steeler. Very few teams have that loyalty. Green Bay is the only other team I can think of that has that kind of loyalty. Point is, it all starts with the ownership.
