When will the Pink end???

1 in 6 people in America are hungry. Don't see the NFL committing an entire month out of a 4 month season to helping make others "aware" of that. If it were baseball where the year was 11 1/2 months long it would be one thing, but it's not. Let's not even pretend money doesn't play some factor in this as well. This is the same league that wanted to fine Jake Plummer for wearing a Pat Tillman sticker on his helmet. Same league that had to be convinced by the players to allow them to wear 9/11 memorial clothing.

An entire month away from the standard uniform is ridiculous when the league will fine a player if he doesn't wear a certain brand of shoe. Wear pink the 1st week of October every year, that way every team gets to do it since the byes don't start until the second week, and rock a pink ribbon on the back of each player's helmet for the month. Plenty of other ways to raise breast cancer awareness throughout October.

This is kind of like complaining that the American Lung Association doesn't spend enough money researching heart disease.

So they talk about one cause and not another. Big deal. Is it only right to talk about one issue if you give every other issue equal time?

Complaining about this is silly.

Last time I checked, the carolina panthers colors were blue, black, white, and silver.

Not blue, black, white, silver, and pink.

Would people be totally fine with wearing Vikings jerseys for a full month to support some cause that everyone sees plastered on TV, radio, billboards, and magazines constantly anyway?

Instead of the pink towels and other accessories, how about just wearing a pink uni for a home game during october, with team colors as trim?

I'll tell you what is more annoying as hell compared to pink....it's that damned Play60 bus commercial with the annoying jingle. A slight bit more tolerable this season since you don't have the Fowlclowns with Smith and Blank bopping their heads back and forth, but still like nails on a chalkboard.

great apparently the panthers are donating their breast cancer awareness goal post pads to local highschools so girls can get ready for something they won't be at risk for for another 4 decades.

you aren't drunk enough to be funny yet

finish that glass of wine and make it escalate already

    • You joke, but it can always be worse. He might walk with a limp or need assistance. Different sport, but Lonzo Ball couldn't even walk up steps a year after his injury.
    • I mean... a lot of the information that could've helped set better expectations has always been out there: There was no RB on the team under contract for the 2025 - 2026 season except for Miles Sanders. The team did not have a second round pick going into the 2025 season due to the trade for Young. Chuba's extension did not happen until the beginning of November. Jonathon Brooks was the clear RB1 in the class with a massive gap between RB1 & RB2. Example: Dane Brugler had Brooks as RB1, overall #48; Blake Corum was RB2, #81 overall. The Giants held pick #47 and had just lost Saquon Barkley to the Eagles in free agency. They were going to take Brooks had the Panthers not jumped in front of them. So if we're framing things with that context: Chuba was expected to be RB1 Miles (at the time) was RB2 Brooks was essentially RB3, stashed for rehab in 2024 with a long runway. The original injury occurred Nov 2023 while the re-injury occurred December 2024. That is right in the high-risk window for recurrence, especially in explosive athletes. The fact that it also happened on a non-contact play suggests possible biomechanical issues such as muscle imbalance, rather than a failed surgery (or bad decision-making).   NFL teams invest heavily in medically vetting prospects. If there had been a clear red flag in imaging or recovery markers, the team is going to find it. This sucks and the Panthers have sucked, yes, but this wasn't blind optimism or malpractice by the front office. It was a calculated decision based on the roster, draft capital, positional scarcity, etc.
    • Yep, but they can all rotate with Brown, Brown and Robinson (sounds like a law firm). Can't continue to have Derrick Brown out there for 90+ percent of the defensive snaps. An injury was bound to happen.
