The league is getting more and more ridiculous

Colin Kaepernick did a commercial for Beats by Dre -- headphone maker extraodinaire -- where he was shown blocking out the sound of what looks like screaming Seahawks fans.

Well, the San Francisco 49ers quarterback has been hit with a penalty for wearing those headphones. Kaepernick said on Thursday that he was fined $10K by NFL for wearing the Beats by Dre product. But why?

Simple, the NFL made a deal with Bose to be the official headphones of the league. And as a result, the league passed a mandate that NFL players can only be seen wearing Bose headphones when there's a potential of being seen by cameras or fans. Kaepernick, of course, didn't take it seriously or didn't hear about it.

He went strolling into Levi's Stadium last Sunday wearing his headphones and someone must have seen him. Hence, the fine. Let that be a lesson, Colin? A silly lesson, but a lesson nonetheless.
