Matt Gay is a professional football player and a kicker for the Tampa Bay
Buccaneers. This week he will wear antibullying cleats Sunday in the team's match
against the Indianapolis Colts.
The sartorial activism is tied to a National Football League
campaign, My Cause, My Cleats, in which players, for one game each year,
decorate their shoes in a manner that links them to a cause.
Gay's advocacy for antibullying efforts is inspired by his youth in
Utah, where he was bullied due to the "gay" association of his last
name. “I got bullied and teased all the time for my last name and things like that."
