from what the article reads, it says the coaches had no problems with him switching cleats until they were the pink ones, then hell was raised.
Yeah that's true, it's strange they didn't question him before if it was such a big deal this time. They showed some of his other shoes in the video, though, and though they were colored differently they all looked like regular cleats. These pink shoes stood out far more than most others would, so I'm thinking their stark contrast to what he'd worn before (and the shoes other players were wearing that night) is what got him the boot.
