The NFL takes its uniform rules a tad too seriously. Just ask Cleveland Browns receiver Odell Beckham Jr., who has been on the receiving end of this throughout his career.
Beckham Jr. just took to social media on Monday evening to share a notice from the NFL informing him that he has been fined $14,000 for his pants being too short during his team’s game against the Seattle Seahawks back in Week 6.
You can’t make this up.

That’s legitimately a first.
Cover up your knees next time, Mr. Beckham. Can’t be flashing too much skin. Those in Gilead would be proud. This is about as ridiculous as it gets.
