One of the latest fashion statements among men is having their nails painted.
USC's Caleb Williams turned heads in 2022 when he did it several times, including writing the words "F--- UTAH" in the Pac-12 title game against the Utes.
The fad has grabbed the attention of former NFL wide receiver Cole Beasley, who isn't amused.

"What’s up with all these dudes painting their nails nowadays?" Beasley wrote on X, formerly Twitter. "That ain’t it…."
Beasley was ripped for the take in plenty of replies, including one by a former teammate with the Buffalo Bills.
"It’s color on nails," Kenny Britt wrote.
Britt added, "That’s like someone asking what’s up with all these dudes getting tattoos. Self expression."
That was a take Beasley disagreed with, saying tattoos have a much deeper meaning than fingerpaint.
"I disagree. Tattoos tell a story based on the image you get," Beasley replied. "Painted nails have no image. What exactly are you expressing? 'Cause I can only think of one thing. Lol"
