Is Beats by Dre paying the fine?
The NFL was very direct about their new rules stating players wearing other headphone brands other than BOSE and they are trying to make an example of the first one violating the rule, Colin Kaepernick. The 49ers quarterback was seen wearing pink Beats at the San Francisco 49ers postgame press conference last Sunday and the Beats by Dre Twitter even pointed it out earlier that day, posting a picture on Twitter of Kaep rocking the headphones.
After the new partnership was announced, the NFL specifically stated players cannot wear headphones any time the cameras are rolling at an NFL event, but can still be sponsored by the company. This means that fashion statement during game day cost a cool $10,000 dollars.
Don’t worry Kaep, just forward the bill to Beats by Dre.
