DeSean Jackson has been fined for wearing caution tape-themed cleats in a Week 4 game against the Cleveland Browns.

According to ESPN.com, the fine for a violation is $6,076, and he will not appeal the league's decision.

"It's cool, man," Jackson said of the fine. "My message and what I wanted to get across was more of the case for that, so I wasn't worried about that [fine]."

Jackson wore the cleats to raise awareness of police brutalities and violence in communities. He won't stop at just sending a message through apparel, though. He also wants to conduct seminars and after-school programs in the offseason.

Last week against the Baltimore Ravens, Jackson wore NFL approved pink cleats in honor of breast cancer awareness month.
