DeAngelo Williams asked the NFL for permission to wear pink on his uniform after October Breast Cancer Awareness Month Ends but was denied. Williams wanted to honor his mom who lost her life to Breast Cancer. However DeAngelo has found a loophole in the NFL rules that will still allow him to honor his mom with pink. DeAngelo plans to keep his hair pink as this does not violate NFL rules on uniforms.
“The hair, it’s part of the uniform from the standpoint of being tackled, but it’s not specific on what color it has to be or if it has to match the uniform,”
I’m glad DeAngelo found a way to still honor his mom. Sometimes things are bigger than the silly rules of the NFL. Good work to DeAngelo for being smart about it, not giving up and using the rules to help.
