uh oh Kapaernick got caught wearing beats on camera!

Colin Kapaernick is an amzing quarterback who plays for the San Francisco 49er’s, the best team in the league (we might be biased… might). He also happens to have a contract with Beats by Dre, who capitalize on his fame to promote their range of Headphones. Here he is in an ad for Beats which you might remember played during the World Cup.

The NFL, however, has just signed a deal with Bose, to make them an official sponsor of the game, and as such banned all players from wearing Beats on camera during training camp, practice sessions or before, during, or 90 minutes after any game.

Our favorite quarterback broke those rules last Sunday by wearing bright pink beats to a post-game press conference after the 49ers win over the Chiefs. Kapaernick has since explained that he was wearing those particular headphone in an effort towards Breast Cancer Awareness, (his Grandmother is a survivor) which is awesome, but unfortunately that don’t really cut it when it comes to legally binding contracts between the NFL and a big sponsor like Bose.

Hence, he was fined $10,000. Ouch.

Well, at least we won. And, now, more than a few more people are aware of the meaning behind those bright pink headphones. Check out how you can help those with breast cancer by raising awareness or donating here.
