FORMER PITTSBURGH STEELER, JUDGE DWAYNE WOODRUFF COMMENTS ON THE PRESIDENTS REMARKS

PA SUPREME COURT CANDIDATE & FORMER PITTSBURGH STEELER, JUDGE DWAYNE WOODRUFF COMMENTS ON THE PRESIDENT’S REMARKS #TAKEAKNEENFL

Pittsburgh, PA – Friday, September 22nd our commander-in-chief laid out a bold statement during a rally in Huntsville, Alabama. His words ignited a firestorm of news headlines, comments from current NBA athletes, NFL league, celebrities and many more. On social media, these trending topics led to hashtags, such as #TakeAKneeNFL.

Judge Woodruff had this to say, “This past Friday, the leader of our country made disparaging comments, which only serve to push our country to become more divided and ultimately penalizes our first amendment rights under the Constitution. The history of our country records the courageous efforts by people we now consider heroes such as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Muhammad Ali and Rosa Parks; they endeavored against great opposition, to gain/preserve rights and freedom for current and future generations. We must continue to be a country united in justice and equality for all”.

The Honorable Dwayne D. Woodruff is a Judge on the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County – Pittsburgh, presiding primarily in the Family Court Division since 2005. Woodruff earned a degree from the University of Louisville (1979) and a Juris Doctor from Duquesne University School of Law (1988), which he attended, full time at night during his professional football career with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Woodruff has the unprecedented, dual career distinction in professional sports; simultaneously practicing law with the Meyer Darragh firm and playing football for the Pittsburgh Steelers for three years from 1988 to 1990.
