San Francisco 49ersquarterback Colin Kaepernickwanted to draw attention to police violence when he began his national anthem protest. On Sunday, Washington Redskinswide receiver DeSean Jacksonwill take the protest one step further.
According to TMZ Sports, Jackson will wear cleats with a yellow caution-tape design to draw attention to police violence Sunday.
CSN Mid-Atlantic's Troy Machir posted a photo of the cleats Saturday:
In an interview with TMZ Sports, the three-time Pro Bowler explained why he opted for the specialized footwear:
I've seen enough yellow caution tape and it's time for a stand and a change in our community and society.
Senseless killings have been ongoing for awhile and police brutality in our black community ... and as a young black leader with a stage and platform I'm starting awareness to help prevent these killings, and hopefully get justice to these cops who have taken lives of innocent human beings.
TMZ reported he'll wear the cleats during Washington's pregame warm-ups and may leave them on when the team's Week 4 matchup with the Cleveland Browns begins.
Should Jackson wear the cleats during the game, he'll almost certainly receive a fine from the NFL. The league didn't punish the players who wore cleats honoring those killed in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. However, Houston Texans wideout DeAndre Hopkins received a fine after he donned Adidas Yeezy 350 cleats in violation of the NFL's uniform rules.
On Sept. 12, Sports Illustrated's Jonathan Jonesreported the NFL will allow players to wear personalized cleats for preapproved charities or social causes in Week 13.
Otherwise, the league rules prohibit players from personalizing their equipment, per Jones: "Players are prohibited from wearing, displaying or otherwise conveying personal messages either in writing or illustration, unless such message has been approved in advance by the league office."
