Another genius PR move by the NFL.

Via CNS News:

Washington Redskins’ quarterback Robert Griffin III, who dislocated his ankle in Sunday’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, entered the room for a post-game press conference wearing a T-shirt that said “[K]No[w] Jesus, [K]No[w] Peace” but turned it inside-out before speaking to reporters.

Video and photographic images show Griffin entering the room wearing the shirt–showing its emphatically Christian inscription–and then making remarks at the podium while wearing the shirt turned inside out so that the inscription did not show.

The “K”s and the “w”s in the “Know Jesus, Know Peace” inscription on RGIII’s shirt were in black while the other letters were in white–so that the declaration “No Jesus No Peace” stood out.

Michael Phillips, a sportswriter for the Richmond Times Dispatch, who was in the room tweeted: “RGIII was wearing a t-shirt that said ‘Know Jesus, Know Peace.’ NFL Uniform Inspector Tony McGee (former Skins DE) approached Griffin…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.”
