High school football player Coy Sheppard is back on his team after his coach kicked him off the team for wearing pink cleats. He wore the cleats to bring awareness to the fight against breast cancer; The cleats were the gift of his 82-year-old great grandmother, and he wore them in honor of his grandmother, a breast cancer survivor.
I'm sure the coach didn't like the fact that the cleats were "sissy pink." But to not let the kid honor his cancer-surviving grandmother? What an ass. Luckily a little lawsuit and national attention got him his spot on the team back.
