Im gonna risk sounding like an insensitive jerk here...

But I absolutely HATE those pink "breast cancer awareness" colors. I can understand doing a little something... but pinkifying the entire league to appease political correctness totally emasculates one of final institutions of Manliness.

you do sound like a jerk. they aren't wearing them to make a fashion statement, they are wearing them to bring awareness to breast cancer.

football is just a game, and breast cancer is a serious illness.

yet you spend much of your free time on a Message board about football.

It goes without saying that Breast Cancer is a serious illness. But you dont have to make everyone wear pink.

Its almost like if they made everyone wear black for black history month... or rainbow socks during gay pride month. Both of which I would think would be UNNECESSARY. My point is not about the seriousness of the issue, but my disatisfaction with Pepto Bismolling the entire league for those purposes.

Its not like I said... Hey breast cancer is funny isnt it? I have family members and friends that this disease effects.

Context.

I think the point is that everyone is very aware of breast cancer and the pink is pointless and worn for the sake of political correctness rather than any effort to bring awareness to any cause. There is more money spent and research conducted on breast cancer than any other disease.

My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer a couple of months ago so I'm very aware of how serious but if the NFL was serious it would help create awareness for prostate cancer or some disease that is more common in men in my opinion.
