During Weeks 13 & 14, NFL players are wearing customized cleats in honor of the causes they have chosen to support through My Cause My Cleats.
The NFL runs a regular community outreach campaign called My Cause My Cleats each season that allows players to wear non-regulation shoes during games in the later part of the season which are then auctioned off to support charitable causes important to those players.
Kendall Fuller is one of many players participating, but his cause on his cleat is causing an uproar.
The Washington Commanders cornerback is being called out for supporting The Fellowship of Christian Athletes, which pledges to “reach every coach and every athlete with the transforming power of Jesus Christ.”
On the surface, it seems to be fine. However, the organization prohibits LGBTQ+ people from holding leadership positions, along with anybody who even supports same-sex marriage.
Fuller is being accused of supporting an anti-LGBTQ group as a result.
