Eagles' Dorial Green-Beckham fined for wearing cleats supporting bogus foundation

Week 13 in the NFL was supposed to allow players to honor charitable causes. Players took part in a league initiative, "My Cause, My Cleats," which allowed players to wear designer cleats that helped promote charities and social issues important to them.
