TAMPA, Fla. -- Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive tackle Gerald McCoy and players all across the NFL will wear custom cleats Sunday to bring awareness to their charities of choice, but McCoy said he wishes players had the freedom to do it more often.Weve got handcuffs on, said McCoy, a four-time Pro Bowler and seven-year veteran. I dont mind saying that because thats what I believe -- the NFL is putting handcuffs on us and not letting us express ourselves.McCoy will honor single parents during Sundays leaguewide My Cause, My Cleats day. His mother, Patricia Dianne McCoy, was a single mother before she met his father, Gerald Sr., along with several of his aunts and his wife, Ebony, before they were married. He saw it in school growing up and at his church, and he saw the impact.Guys get to express themselves and show whats in their heart and what means a lot to them, McCoy said. We dont get a chance to express ourselves much. Thats why there [are] a lot of fines going on, a lot of flags going on.And those feeling arent just limited to cleats or T-shirts -- such as the one he wore in warm-ups during Week 1 to honor those who perished and were involved in rescue efforts on Sept. 11. When it comes to on-field celebrations, he feels players need to be able to express their emotions.Its very hard to make a play in the NFL and to do it consistently. But just doing it once, that emotion comes out, McCoy said.He said he had to be careful with his celebration this past Sunday, so as to not cross the line or direct it at the opposition so it would be considering taunting. If any of his teammates got involved or mimicked his moves, it also could have been flagged, as choreographed celebrations are also prohibited. He celebrated by doing an airplane motion after his teams six-sack performance against the Seattle Seahawks?on Sunday.I know for a fact that when I was a rookie coming [into the league], Roger Goodell himself told us, my class, when we were in his office, was to show emotion on draft day. And to be able to express how [we] feel playing this game and to show the joy, the excitement you get from having an opportunity to play in the NFL. So when guys are doing that and getting flagged for it, what kind of sense does that make?Its not like anybody is flipping the bird to the fans or anything like that -- guys are dancing maybe. Its just excitement from making a play. Guys are not cursing out reporters or anything. It takes the fun out of the game. You dont know what you can and cant do anymore. For them to give us an opportunity to express ourselves this week on our cleats is great.He said he hopes there can be a point when players can express themselves more, so fans can develop a greater connection with them.I dont think we have to bottle it up, McCoy said. I just dont think we can express it freely.He also hopes Sundays My Cause, My Cleats program can get the ball rolling on allowing players to choose who they want to honor and causes they want to bring awareness to. Mike Evans is using his platform Sunday to bring awareness to RISE, a program to help put an end to racism. Kwon Alexander will wear cleats with an anti-gun violence message, honoring his late brother, Broderick Taylor, who was 17 when he was shot and killed last year.Its just an opportunity to express yourself and what means something to you, McCoy said. A lot of people dont know whats close to peoples hearts. The NFL does a great job of expressing how they feel about the military and breast cancer, but [there are] a lot more things out there that people dont talk about.You dont know what means a lot to some of these other players. This is an opportunity for people to show what that thing is.Air Max Outlet .
