DeSean Jackson is among several NFL players who will be taking part in the league’s “My Cleats, My Cause” program this week to help raise awareness and money for issues of importance to them, and the star wide receiver is continuing with a theme he has showcased in the past.
On Wednesday, Jackson shared some videos and images on Instagram of his “Black Lives Matter” cleats, which center around the Rodney King beating of the 1990s.

Jackson wore some controversial cleats protesting police brutality two years ago, and he felt the need to explain his motivation after being criticized over the footwear. At the very least, he won’t be fined for the cleats this time around.
