OBJ and Landry know better, but they thought they were going to get away with it until the uniform police caught up with them.
It had nothing to do with Browns losing to Broncos, but just not the type of attention they want.
The NFL told Cleveland Browns wide receivers Odell Beckham Jr. and Jarvis Landry to change their cleats at halftime of Sunday’s loss to the Denver Broncos or they wouldn’t be allowed to play the second half.
According to the NFL rulebook, “a player may wear shoes that are black, white or any constitutional team color, or any combination of black, white and a constitutional team color.”
Beckham’s white cleats included blue and red colors in a face, resembling the character from the recent movie “Joker.” Landry’s shoes were gold, with a lighter shade of orange closer to Denver’s jersey color than Cleveland’s.
OBJ says he is being singled out.
“You just got to know the situation, know who you are, where you are and know that they’re going to tell us to take them off, regardless,” he said. “Even though I’ve seen people in cleats that are a totally different color then their team and they could wear them all game, on a prime-time game, and for some reason when it comes to me it’s just not the case.”
