SAN FRANCISCO — 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick is at the center of controversy again after being handed a three-game suspension for failing to give proper respect to Dannon, the official yogurt of the NFL since 2015.
The lightning rod was spotted eating Fage yogurt at his locker on Monday, violating the league’s sponsorship deal to only have Dannon yogurt products at all league facilities.
“We take our relationship with the good folks at Dannon very seriously and it was wrong and disrespectful for Colin to openly dishonor the delicious yogurt products they make,” commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement today.
