RG3 Fined $10K by NFL for wearing Adidas Postgame

If Adidas were smart, they'd do what Nike did with MJ back in 1984 and let RG3 keep on wearing lots of Adidas and pay every single dime of the fines.

Didn't the NBA eventually put a stop to that by threatening to hand out a 1-game suspension for each incident? As much as I think the league is being ridiculous, I'd rather if RG3 focused on being awesome rather than sticking it to the league.

Excuse my ignorance, but why isn't RG3 allowed to wear Adidas? I assume it's some sort of sponsorship issue, but is he not allowed to wear any brand names, only certain brand names, or are certain brand names banned? Is this in player contracts?

league has deals with nike an new era...can't rock adidas in public it screams f you sponsors I'm doing me!

Am I the only one who thinks RGIII needs to wise up about this crap? When doing interviews and gameday on field stuff he has to wear Nike. That's it. No compromise. No wiggle room. Nike paid a hell of a lot of money for the NFL rights. You see any other players getting fined for wearing their endorsements instead of the actual league sanctioned clothing?

This. RG3 needs to mature a bit.
