VT. Art Rooney II just filed the largest lawsuit in NFL history when he said that people in the NFL are trying to bring down the Steeler when they overturned all punishments for WR Ja’Marr Chase and suspended Jalen Ramsey. He vowed to go to the end to demand justice for the Steelers in the latest statement from the team

Art Rooney II Just Filed the Largest Lawsuit in NFL History — Accusing League Power-Players of Sabotaging the Steelers After All Penalties on Ja’Marr Chase Were Overturned and Jalen Ramsey Was Suspended

What began as a controversy exploded into a full-scale firestorm today when Steelers president Art Rooney II filed what insiders are calling “the largest, most aggressive lawsuit ever launched against the NFL.” And he did it with a message that shook the league to its core:

“Someone in the NFL is trying to bring the Steelers down — and I’m going to the very end to expose it.”

In the team’s newly released statement, Rooney II expressed outrage after the league cleared Bengals WR Ja’Marr Chase of all penalties from last week’s sideline chaos — while simultaneously suspending Steelers star cornerback Jalen Ramsey. To Steelers Nation, it felt like déjà vu. To Art Rooney II, it felt like a declaration of war.

Rooney’s words were sharp, cold, and unmistakably personal:

“Overturning every penalty on Chase while suspending Ramsey is not discipline — it’s discrimination. This franchise has stood for fairness for 90 years. And if the league won’t respect that, we will force them to respect the law.”

According to sources familiar with the lawsuit, Rooney II is demanding:

• A full release of all officiating communications from the game
• A review of all disciplinary decisions made within the past 48 hours
• A transparency audit on the league’s punishment procedures
• And a court-ordered independent investigation into potential bias against the Steelers

Inside league headquarters, insiders say panic erupted the moment the filing went public. This isn’t a routine complaint. This is a direct challenge to the NFL’s power structure — from one of its oldest, most respected owners.

Social media detonated within minutes.

Steelers fans raged. Bengals fans celebrated. Analysts scrambled to understand the potential fallout. And across the NFL, executives reportedly “turned white as paper” when they realized how big the lawsuit actually is.

One unnamed league source said:

“If Art Rooney II is truly taking this to the end… the league is in deep trouble. He’s not the type to bluff.”

Rooney’s final line in the statement sent chills through the football world:

“We will not allow selective justice. We will not allow quiet favoritism. And we will not allow this franchise to be targeted. Not now. Not ever.”

As of tonight, the NFL has not issued a full response.
Jalen Ramsey has expressed frustration but thanked Rooney for “standing up when no one else would.”
Ja’Marr Chase has remained silent.

But one thing is clear:
This isn’t just a dispute anymore — it’s a war for legitimacy, for fairness, and for the soul of the NFL.

And Art Rooney II just made the opening strike.
