The NFL reversed a controversial stance...

This reverses a controversial stance by the NFL, which is usually extremely strict when it comes to its uniform code. Players are often fined for wearing unapproved uniform elements, even when there are good intentions. In 2013, the NFL fined Brandon Marshall $10,500 for wearing green cleats that were supporting mental illness. 

This year, the league and the players found a compromise, allowing players one week to wear customized cleats to support their favorite charities. The promotion has been labeled with the hashtag, #MyCauseMyCleats.

As Paul Lukas of ESPN noted, there's no "best" cleats this week. Every pair is supporting a great cause, and the colorful kicks are popping on the TV.
