Pink headphones cost footballer $10k

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick said he has been fined $10,000 (€7,927) by the NFL for the pink "Beats by Dre" brand name headphones he wore around his neck after Sunday’s game.

While Kaepernick has an endorsement deal with Beats and has done a commercial, the league’s contract is with Bose.

Wearing the pink version for October breast cancer awareness month, Kaepernick knew he could be subject to a fine after the 22-17 win last Sunday.
