Steelers DeAngelo Williams told ESPN that he was recently fined $5,787 by the NFL for uniform violation. The violation was DeAngelo wearing the message “Find the Cure” under his eyes in eye black. DeAngelo was denied by the NFL to wear pink the rest of the year to honor his late mother. DeAngelo decided to do so he could bring awareness to the cause. DeAngelo has wore this message for previously however this time the NFL had an issue with what type of eye black he used. DeAngelo eye black was not provided or approved by the NFL.
The NFL is pretty ridiculous with their fines. This seems pretty petty reason to fine someone who is obviously hurting over the loss of their mom.
