The Dolphins, such as all NFL teams, are participating in the league's 10th annual "My Cause, My Cleats" campaign in Sunday's game against New Orleans, which features players raising awareness for charitable groups with colorful cleats. Players were enlightening and passionate in talking about their non-profit causes."
"A total of 37 Dolphins players and coaches are scheduled to participate in the effort, and fans can bid on some of the cleats in an online auction. Edge rusher Chop Robinson, whose older sister, Artese, died of lupus while he was in elementary school, is wearing cleats for Lupus Foundation. "It's kind of only right that I put her name on the cleats and show off for her," said Robinson, whose cleats represented the same non-profit group last season."
