WASHINGTON (CBSDC) — Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III was reportedly told by an NFL uniform inspector not to wear his “Know Jesus, Know Peace” t-shirt before Sunday’s postgame press conference.

Michael Phillips, the Redskins reporter for the Richmond Times-Dispatch, posted on Twitter that Griffin was told he couldn’t wear the t-shirt because it wasn’t a Nike product.

“RGIII was wearing a t-shirt that said ‘Know Jesus, Know Peace.’ NFL Uniform Inspector Tony McGee (former Skins DE) approached Griffin,” Phillips tweeted. “McGee told Griffin he couldn’t wear the shirt because it wasn’t a Nike product. Made him turn it inside out for the press conference.”

Of course the nfl had no problem a few weeks ago when the redskins ran out on the field with their hands up in the air in solidarity to the michael brown incident...

I am told by someone in the know that it was because of a signed agreement between him and Nike. I say he is a ***** for not having a huge Nike slash above the word Jesus!

Don't you have more important things to worry about as of late, Goodell??
