Don't take the pink dreads for granted, Huddle. Others aren't.

As Panthers fans, I think that we may have gotten comfortable with the idea that D-Will is wearing pink dreads, so the novelty is easily lost.  But let us remember why he's doing it as we hopefully watch them flow in the wind, in wake of D-Will breaking a few tackles and "taking it to the house".

 

A  couple in Texas wants to honor D-Will's mother as well according to Bleacher Report.

 

After learning of Williams’ story, LaTisha said she feels compelled to pay tribute to his mother during the month of October.

 

“I would love to walk in his mother’s honor,” said she as she continued to fight back tears. “I would love to put his mother’s name on my back. This young man didn’t ask for his mother to get breast cancer. He’s playing the game in his mother’s honor. He needs more exposure for what he’s doing because it’s positive. People need more awareness as it relates to breast cancer.”

 

 

It's not just a cool thing to do---wearing pink dreads---but it means something.

 

 

 

 

 

[Mr. Scot]

October is always the NFL's Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

 

Someone pointed out it's gonna be interesting to see that juxtaposed with the NFL's domestic violence image problems.

DWill will go on to do great things for cancer awareness after his NFL playing days are done.

[Happy Panther]

DWILL will probably play until he is 80.

 

In other words 49 more years of CRA telling us he is done.

Wasn't it D-Will that got the NFL to start wearing pink in October? Seem to remember he was the first player to do it and he lobbied the league hard for it. That story needs to get back out there.

Yes, it was Williams who started it.

I heard that the NFL is going to start phasing out the pink month over the next few years.

Doubt they will now. They need all the good press they can get with women's issues.

I think the fans were starting to get tired of it even before all the DV issues.  It'll be gradually phased out. 

[Mr. Scot]

So now they've been downgraded to 'very nice'?

 

Not good.

@ltown I hope you know that's just a bot, unless it's a Russian spy

Procter and Gamble have pulled out of their BCA plans

Oooooohhh, that's bad

It's sad how little exposure positive things like this are getting compared to the recent domestic violence cases.
