Ex-Steelers HC Mike Tomlin mentioned in official's lawsuit vs. NFL

In a surprising turn of events, Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin was mentioned in a lawsuit by former NFL official Robin DeLorenzo, who is suing the league over gender-based discrimination. According to a report from the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, DeLorenzo's lawsuit against the NFL discussed an incident in which the league's officiating crew chief told Tomlin at Steelers training camp that she would have to "sing in front of everyone," similar to what rookies undergo. "As a result, she said, she 'put on an utterly humiliating singing performance' in front of the Steelers’ players, all the men on her officiating crew, and her boss, who she said had promised not to record her but did so anyway, according to the lawsuit," the authors at the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review wrote .

Pittsburgh-Tribune Review went on to mention that DeLorenzo was allegedly shamed and harassed, in addition to "profanity-laced trash talk" from her crew chief in the weeks that followed. We at Steelers Wire remain committed to providing any additional updates on DeLorenzo's lawsuit against the league, particularly those involving Pittsburgh.
