That’s kind of like, “If only Stalin knew!”
Stalin knew.
Roger knows.
Roger likes what is going on.
William Gay wore purple shoes for domestic violence awareness, got fined

DeAngelo Williams wasn’t the only member of the Steelers to get fined by the league this week for sending a message via his uniform.
Cornerback William Gay has also been fined $5,787 for wearing purple shoes in an attempt to draw attention to domestic violence issues during Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Gay’s mother was shot and killed by his stepfather when Gay was seven years old, which makes his personal relationship to the issue a particularly close one.
As we’ve seen numerous times over the years, the league’s rules about uniforms don’t offer any wiggle room for players to highlight causes of interest to them. The only approved alterations come when during league-wide efforts in October and November to recognize breast cancer awareness and the United States military.
This will be entertaining either way: If they fine them for the "Colin" shoes, the hilarity would be non-stop for weeks (this won't happen, but one can always hope). The other possibility still has entertainment value as people will point out the glaring double standard of fining a guy for paying tribute to his murdered mother while letting these jerks wear any shoes they want.
