NFL threatened to take Ceedee out of the game because of his shoes

[Risen Star]

CeeDee Lamb wore Nike Kobe 6 “Grinch” cleats vs. the Giants on Thanksgiving. There were no issues. But when he wore these green Nike air zoom pro vapor cleats on Sunday, NFL officials made him take them off at halftime.

Lamb: “I got fined a lot this year. Bro, I’m like a target. … I don’t know what I did or what I have done. If I’ve done anything, I apologize. … They said they’re gonna take me out of the game if you don’t change your shoes.”

I noticed the change at the half. I was going to show my son the shoes and he didn't have them on anymore! LOL

Dont see the issue. The rules are very clear.

The loser friends and family guys they give the $200k "rules official" jobs to have to have something to do!

I thought those were his "my cause my cleats" shoes. Guess I was wrong. I remember Lamb getting fined multiple times a couple of seasons ago for having an "untucked" jersey or something stupid like that.
So, who gets the money from all the fines?

Yep......there are NFL "police" on the sidelines, every game regarding NFL clothing and shoes. It's a uniformity rule. The league accommodates a game for cleats with messages and lenient color schemes

I really don't like that man.

The fines collected are donated to the Professional Athletes Foundation to support Legends in need and the NFL Foundation to further support the health, safety and wellness of athletes across all levels, including youth football and the communities that support the game.

He's definitely the grinch in this story!!

It’s crazy having a multi billion dollar company and the players make millions … but they are over the color of shoes

I thought fines were donated to charity....

Maybe it's just me but I don't want to see 22 different colors of cleats on the field at the once. It's a team game and nice to have some uniformity.

I agree and noticed Lambs feet immediately.

There’s all kinds of crazy cleats allowed lately and just figured it was about Roger’s lame attempt at allowing “fun” into the league, like the dumb end zone celebrations after a turnover.

I really don't understand why athletes put any thought & effort into trying to "Style" while on the field. I certainly wouldn't be about giving up any money in fines over something so stupid.

Yes, but there's whining to be had. Why do expressly clear rules have to get in the way of that?

 

[CWR]

The first Jordan's weren't NBA legal either.

These leagues concentrate on nonsense sometimes.

CD isn't a victim, he's just in a league with silly rules.

Style is part of the game for many athletes. And that's a good thing.

A good sports league encourages personal style and expression and individuality, because it's something that can get kids to actually care about the sport and want to play too.

Sports shouldn't feel like you're in the army. The NFL has the dumbest rules on uniforms and I actually think it's a barrier to bringing new people to the sport.

A barrier? Can you explain how? And which would you deem "a good league" because all the major sports have fairly strict uniform rules?

No
Fun
League

Strikes again
