It’s time for another non-football-related discussion involving Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., a conversation Beckham invited.
Beckham sported an expensive, custom-made watch while playing in Cleveland’s humbling Week 1 loss to the Tennessee Titans. According to Tom Withers of the Associated Press, the watch is a $250,000 Richard Mille timepiece and was visible on his wrist during the game.
The NFL has no rule against wearing jewelry during games. There is a prohibition against extraneous hard objects, however, and the NFL will speak with Beckham at an unspecified time about the expensive accoutrement.
It’s a puzzling decision to wear such a valuable item with no functional purpose other than sheer vanity during a game. It’s time for that to stop, Mr. Beckham.
