Steelers' Brown forced to remove Ali tribute cleats
ESPNNFL/Twitter
For the second week in a row, Antonio Brown opted to honor a deceased sporting legend with his cleats.
A week after he received special permission from the league to wear cleats with Arnold Palmer emblazoned on them, the Pittsburgh Steelers receiver was reportedly forced to remove the shoes commemorating Muhammad Ali.

so.... the NFL made Antonio Brown take off Muhammad Ali tribute cleats... a week after they OK-ed him wearing Arnold Palmer cleats

huh
Perhaps Brown neglected to ask for special permission to wear the cleats during the game this week, or perhaps the league's uniform violation code is as confusing as the NFL's stance on touchdown celebrations.
