Ochocinco fined for chin strap
According to the NFL's Web site, the league fined Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chad Ochocinco $10,000 for wearing a black chin strap on his helmet during last Sunday's game against the Houston Texans.
Players are permitted to wear only white chin straps.
Ochocinco was fined $5,000 during the preseason for wearing an orange chin strap.
Ochocinco wrote on Twitter: "I got fined 10 grand for my black chinstrap, I'm colorblind doesn't that count for something!"

If the players are permitted to only wear white chin straps why would a team have different colors available? If he wants to waste 10 grand every week he can send it to me!
I'm sure he is joking with his color blind statement; but I am color blind and I can tell the difference between black and white. For those who don't understand "color blindness". It doesn't mean you don't see color at all; generally it means you cannot distinguish between certain shades of a color. Being Red Color Blind you can still see red but most shades of red look the same.
