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.

FYI, the NFL doesn't give a crap what you think they should do. Here, go to the website and read about it if you want to know why they do it.

Obviously this is a cancer that has affected many many NFL players and the organization as a whole chose to partner with the American Cancer Society. The money isn't just going to support the fight against breast cancer, that is just the avenue chosen because the whole month of October is breast cancer awareness month.

WHY PINK?

All apparel worn at games by players and coaches, along with special game balls and pink coins will be auctioned off at NFL Auction (www.NFL.com/auction), with proceeds benefitting the American Cancer Society and team charities.

Simmer down. Have a beer. Smoke a bong. Get laid.

I think we should do away with black history month because everyone is aware of black people. We should replace it with Eskimo history month.

As a black man... I must say... I laughed at this.

However... Its not Black "Awareness" Month. Its Black History Month. Its not that others are not aware of us... They just dont give a crap about us. But I need Black History Month...

Its the only time of year I get to feel like my country pays imaginary attention to me. It gives me something more to complain about. Plus, its a time to prove to all of my white friends that their stereotypes are actually based on true stories.

Im down with giving Eskimos a month... but they need something a little more... "august." Im thinking... September.

I actually like it. The pink bats they use in MLB are kind of awesome too. Call me a ghey if you'd like, but it's cool that a bunch of steroid fueled testosterone junkies can pull off the pink gloves, socks, etc. look.
