Eagles Wide Receiver Deceives NFL With Fake Charity Cleats

Dorial Green-Beckham wore a pair of cleats for the "Yeezy Foundation" during the NFL's "My Cause My Cleats" campaign in week 13.

The campaign gave players the opportunity to wear custom cleats that promoted a cause that is important to them.

“One of the great NFL traditions is how our players passionately support important causes in their communities and around the globe every year,” NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said when speaking of the campaign. “They are incredibly creative by nature so we are not surprised how they are seizing the opportunity this week with inspiring expressions of their charitable commitments on their cleats, online and through social media.”

For instance, Drew Brees wore a pair of gold cleats with "The Brees Dream Foundation" on them.

As it turns out in Green-Beckham's case, there is no such charity called the "Yeezy Foundation." He seemingly just wanted to wear a pair of Adidas Kanye West-endorsed cleats. The first run of the cleats sold out immediately when they went on sale in September.

Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins wore a pair of the cleats during their season opener, and was hit with a $6,000 fine. Hopkins wore a legitimate pair over the weekend that were attached to a real campaign to fight domestic abuse.

Green-Beckham made up a fake charity to wear the cleats.

Do you think that he should be fined $6,000, and be done? Should his fine be worse? Do you have another idea for punishment? I can think of a few.
