Further proof that the NFL brass is either no fun or just stupid.
>> Wednesday
Reggie Bush has been fined by the NFL for wearing adidas cleats during a preseason game Saturday. Under NFL regulations, players may only wear Nike or Reebok cleats due to contracts.
Now, I admittedly am not a lawyer yet (but scoring higher on the LSATs!), but I can read. These skills tell me that the first line of the legal page on Reebok's website reads, "Reebok is a subsidiary of the adidas Group operating under the Reebok, CCM, Jofa, and Koho brands."
Seems someone forgot to tell the NFL that adidas bought out Reebok a year ago. Am I missing something here?
This policy is seemingly ineffective at best (since adidas happily paid Bush's fine) and just stupid at worst.

Technically, the NFL is right. If Reebok bought out Adidas, then wearing Adidas would be okay. But under the letter of the law, Adidas shoes are still against the dress code.
All A are B is not the same as A=B.
Anywho, that's just a technicality, and the rule is still stupid.
