Halfway through the Browns inevitable loss to the Broncos yesterday, the NFL requested both Jarvis Landry and Odell Beckham jr. change their cleats for the second half, or they would not be allowed to play. Their reasoning for this was because the color of the cleats did not fit within NFL rules. The footwear policy in the N(o)F(un)L(eague) states that players are allowed to wear custom cleats for warmups, but need to switch to team colored cleats for the actual game, but yesterday Jarvis and OBJ ignored this rule, so let’s walk through each cleat and determine why the NFL wanted them changed (besides the obvious color issue):
JARVIS LANDRY JOKER CUSTOMS
Jarvis rocked a custom pair inspired by both the current box office smash “the joker” (right foot) and previous box office smash “the dark knight” (left foot). While we all know the footwear choice is appropriate for a joke of a franchise like the Browns, Godell probably got a phone call from some concerned conservative owners in the league who were thinking the vibe of the footwear was a little too disturbing for the young viewers at home, and demanded a change. “These here shoes feel too school shootery to me Roger, can’t have the fans attacking the NRA again, also UT should never wear cool alt jerseys at home, it’s orange or nothing, tell those students to fuck off,” is probably how the call went.
OBJ GOLD NIKE CUSTOMS
Issue here is real easy to spot, why would you wear gold cleats when your team is 2-6?? That ain’t no fucking gold standard Odell, let’s stick to the brown and orange numbers until you start playing well, okay?
Regardless of how you feel about the NFL’s footwear rules, we can all agree on 1 thing: Jeffery Epstein was murdered by the Clintons.
