Quote from an article on espn.com regarding this issue,
While some portrayed the Dolphins' locker room as unmanaged and lacking leadership, Clark by comparison said the Steelers' locker room is a place of mutual respect and even restraint, where team owner Dan Rooney
even has tried to discourage the playing of rap music.
"He told [teammate Ike Taylor], I don't want you guys listening to that music. I don't want you guys using that word," Clark recounted. "And his reason behind it was that people fought against people using that word. People felt like that word was demeaning. There were terrible acts done by men using that word and by people using that word."
Clark said that Taylor had the music shut off because of Rooney.
"Guys accepted it. It wasn't like that you stopped hearing the music totally. You stopped hearing it that day," Clark said. "But it came back. That's the culture. That's what these guys have grown up with."
