Rooney Rule leaves a legacy and impact far beyond NFL

The policy on minority hiring that carries his name has been adopted not only by other sports but by businesses and organizations nationwide.
His death came days before baseball honors Jackie Robinson on Saturday, the 70th anniversary of the end to racial segregation in the game. And Rooney, a white man from Pittsburgh, left his mark as a groundbreaker as well.
