Earlier this week, Vikings receiver Bernard Berrian said that he’d been fined $5,000 for wearing yellow cleats during Sunday’s game against the Cardinals.* We pointed out at the time that Bengals receiver Chad Ochocinco, a chronic offender of the uniform rules, should be expecting an even bigger fine for wearing gold cleats on Monday night.…

Why does it matter what colour cleats he wears? its OchoCinco Damn

Every player who wore pink gloves and pink shoes should get a $40k fine for defamating the masculinity of the league

STRONGLY disagree. Promoting breast cancer awareness and early detection is something that should be applauded, not mocked because it's not "masculine".

Hey they do that for a good cause, now I do not like how they do it for the whole month for a weekend i would be fine with the pink. In case you didn't know its just for breast cancer awareness, and the MLB does have their blue Prostate awareness month get up, but we don't play during that month. I, at least believe its fairer for the league to allow something like Breast cancer awareness support, than some attention ***** who wants to make a fashion statement or a few bucks for himself in endorsements.

MLB does pink bats for Mother's Day to promote breast cancer awareness as well.

Only if that fine went to the Susan G Komen Breast Cancer Foundation or similar. I personally applaud the league and players, all associated with the wave of pink.

Jokes about breast cancer arent that funny. Maybe you want to try alzheimers next time, only slightly less offensive.
