a kick.com interview<\/a> if he could be commissioner and change one thing, Crosby answered, \u201cThe shoe game.\u201d<\/p>\nCrosby detailed how in a game with the Eagles last season, he wore pink shoes with roses on them as a tribute to his daughter, but the NFL made him take them off, during the game.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe NBA does it right. They let the players do their own shit, rock their own colors,\u201d Crosby said. \u201cIn the NFL you can\u2019t wear any color that\u2019s off the jersey, which is low-key lame. I wore pink cleats in Philly this year, I wore them for about two, three drives. They were on the sideline, my equipment guy was looking at me with a pair of my other cleats like, \u2018You\u2019ve got to come and take those cleats off because they\u2019re bitching about it.\u2019 I\u2019m like, \u2018Fuck that, I\u2019m playing the rest of the series.\u2019 It was third down in the red zone, I got a sack in those pink cleats, and then I had to take them off and I could never wear them again.\u201d<\/p>\n
Crosby noted that the NFL encourages players to express themselves on their shoes with the annual My Cause, My Cleats campaign, and he sees no reason players can\u2019t pick their own shoes for every game.<\/p>\n
\u201cNFL should just let us wear our own colors on our shoes. It\u2019s not that hard. We ain\u2019t hurting anybody,\u201d Crosby said. \u201cWe do it every year with My Cause, My Cleats. That\u2019s the only time we get to wear different colored cleats. That\u2019s one game, or two games.\u201d<\/p>\n
Crosby\u2019s message to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell is clear.<\/p>\n
\u201cI love the NFL, but we\u2019ve got to have a little more fun, Roger.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby says the NFL needs to let players wear whatever color shoes they want.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":768109,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":["post-768108","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/768108","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=768108"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/768108\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/768109"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=768108"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=768108"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=768108"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
