Breaking the rules for a good cause

49ers Quarterback Colin Kaepernick was seen wearing his pink Breast Cancer Awareness Beats By Dre, again ! The NFL has recently banned any other head phones besides Bose. Bose is the official "sound of the NFL" . This implies that we won't be seeing anymore "Beats by Dre" because players must now wear the NFL's suggested pair of headphones at any event having anything to do with the NFL. 

http://recode.net/2014/10/04/nfl-bans-beats-headphones-on-camera/ states: 

"Under terms of its agreement with the league, the NFL confirmed, Bose received a broad set of rights that entitle it to prevent players (or coaches) from wearing any other manufacturer's headphones during televised interviews.

This ban extends to TV interviews conducted during pre-season training camps or practice sessions and on game day — starting before the opening kickoff through the final whistle to post-game interviews conducted in the locker room or on the podium. The restriction remains in place until 90 minutes after the play has ended.

Of course the NFL supports and enforces rules from their sponsors. Players need to make sure they remember where the cameras are, the NFL has no problem issuing a fine. I support Kaepernick completely for still wearing his Beats By Dre Breast Cancer Awareness headphones, I mean it is Breast Cancer Awareness Months.
