NFL Wasn't Joking About That Beats Ban

But did Beats pay the fine?

colin beatsRemember that time the NFL said players shouldn’t be caught wearing Beats by Dre headphones before, during or after games because the league’s ears belong to Bose? Colin Kaeperneck tried it and got fined.

After a game on Sunday, Kaepernick wore a large pink pair of Beats headphones to a press conference. (The headphones are pink for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.) For the infraction, Kaepernick was fined $10,000.

But is this all a part of a Beats PR plan?
