Dorial Green-Beckham was fined over $6,000 by the NFL on Friday for wearing cleats last weekend that had no charity connection.
Last weekend, NFL players were allowed to wear cleats outside of the league’s generally approved standards in order to support charities. Green-Beckham decided to wear the popular Yeezy cleats, from rapper Kanye West’s fashion line, and said they were to support the “Yeezy Foundation,” which doesn’t exist.

But his actions had a price, as ESPN’s Tim McManus reported Friday that the Philadelphia Eagles receiver was fined $6,076 for wearing the unapproved cleats.

Not only did Green-Beckham’s Eagles get smashed by the Bengals, but now he also has to deal with a fine.
Hopefully you’re not on Green-Beckham’s Christmas card list, because you can probably expect a donation to be made in your name to the Human Fund.
