This is not the first moment of silence for the Steelers. Last year, the football team held a moment of silence to honor the victims the day after it occurred. They also edited their team logo to include a Star of David and the words "Stronger than Hate." The team then donated $70,000 to the victims of the shooting. The Steelers are not the only Pittsburgh team remembering the domestic terrorism that occurred. The Pittsburgh Penguins - the city's hockey team - wrote on Twitter, "Hatred and discrimination have no place in Pittsburgh or anywhere else. Today and every day, we are #StrongerThanHate."Statement from #Steelers Team President Art Rooney II on the anniversary of the shooting in the Tree of Life Synagogue. pic.twitter.com/mwYDZYmMau
