Dan Rooney, co-owner of the Pittsburgh Steelers, is expected to step down as
United States ambassador to Ireland.
鋼人隊董事長Dan Rooney，將會辭去從2009開始擔任的美國駐愛爾蘭大使職務。
When asked what role Rooney would have upon his return, his son and team
president Art Rooney II said in a text: “My father has been busy and focused
on his position in Ireland so we really haven‘t talked about what he wants
to do when he gets back. We‘ll talk about that after the season.”
現任球隊總經理Art Rooney II，在被問到父親回國後在球隊擔任的角色時，僅以簡訊
回應：「我父親先前忙於他在愛爾蘭的職務，所以我們還沒有討論到他回來後想要為
球隊做的事情，不過我們在球季結束後應該就會聊到這話題了吧！」

說到鋼人老闆，有一件事情其實很有趣，
那就是先前提到巨人隊頭號球迷代表，也是巨人隊千金/好萊塢影星Rooney Mara，
其實母親剛好出身在Rooney家族，這不僅是她取名的部份典故，
鋼人建隊時的首任老闆Art Rooney, Sr，甚至就是她的外曾祖父(great-grandfather)，
所以當Rooney Mara後來升格成一線明星後，巨人與鋼人的比賽，
也有球迷會打趣說是"Rooney Mara Bowl"
順道一提，Rooney Mara有一個姊姊叫Kate，她的職業也是演員，
而且身材其實比Rooney好，只可惜她的星途沒有妹妹來得亮眼。
