Oh, and I forgot to mention. If you see the documentary on "Full Color Football" -the story of the AFL- check out the letter Steadman sent to Abner Haynes.
Haynes was part of a group of black players that wanted the 1965 AFL All Star Game moved out of New Orleans, because of all the segregated hotels and restaurants there. The game was eventually moved to Houston. It took a lot of balls for the black players to stand up for their rights. Very gutsy, and of course, they were morally right.
Right afterwards, Steadman wrote Haynes a letter (an official letter from the Chiefs front office) chastising him for being an activist, told him to shut up and just play football, and promptly traded him to Denver. Haynes was their star player, much like Charles is our star player now.
So I could make a convincing argument that Steadman was a 1960's racist too. I don't think he still thinks that way, but I hope he regrets writing that letter.
