Pink Not My Favorite Color

[therealmjl]

I am all for BC awareness...but the pink all over the field is a little much. I wouldn't mind if only the players were wearing it, but the fuging pink flags? That is just stupid.

I didn't read the whole thread but I like the pink they wear for the month of October. It hits closer to home. My sister is going through this battle of breast cancer and it is tough to endure but im proud of her courage and faith. I normally wear pink for the month(pink studs, shirts, etc). I do admit though by having those pink flags and instead of yellow can get a tad bit confusing.

 

If I am not mistaken, didn't our very own Dwill start this. If so, thats pretty awesome. I heard he had a few family members affected by this terrible disease and it's awesome to see him raise awareness about it.

i guess you missed the promo during cbs pregame where a woman told of how she asked her husband what all the pink was about several years ago during a game.  She began checking herself after he informed her and was promptly diagnosed two weeks later and it was early enough to beat it.

 

neat story

 

This! And wasn´t D`Will even the one who initiated the idea since his mother had breast cancer? I am not a fan of pink either, but it certainly draws attention - mission completed.

I'm fine with raising breast cancer awareness on such a large stage (hell, ANY cancer awareness is good…I've had cancer twice already and I'm only 47 and very health otherwise), though the pink flags were an unmitigated disaster. Glad to see the League changed that already.

Keeping boobies healthy has my full, unadulterated support.

The death rates are the same as 20 years ago (40k a year)  as is the # of those diagnosed which is 200k. So I ask what has pinkwashing done? Only 2% of all money raised goes to research and has not changed in years either. We can do better. We are aware of it's existence glad it's talked about openly now, but educate the public and doctors of the truth . Let's move the conversation forward.  I am included in the large group that was told " not cancer you are too young watch and wait. " without even a mammogram . Wrong, I had not 1 tumor but 4.   All the BS said, I about threw something at the TV with Collinsworth saying get to the doc early ladies for your cure. There is no cure . If the money goes to the cause fine but some companies don't donate a dime or they have a set dollar amount no matter how many units with a ribbon on it are sold,  which tells me it's about selling a product. Be educated of products purchased and where the money is going. So many charities are also not what they say .Some are just scams. So ask questions, use charity navigator before sending any money.  Not all survivors find the pink helpful . Some of us would rather it be done correctly and not have our suffering trivialized in sexual innuendo and marketing campaigns.

or they can stop making money off the uninformed and actually use the "already" cure... http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=2&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PTXT&s1=6485755&OS=6485755&RS=6485755

I guess they have been sitting so long they forgot we have them or they my enjoy seeing people suffer or maybe population control is running its course. smh... nevertheless I hope these links open up everyone's eyes as they are of a deeper revelation as to how things run here and who really is to blame. smh.... I see sheep and corruption! smh God Bless those that are awake!

Speaking of pink, the Panthers are offering 2 free tickets for those who show support for Breast Cancer Awareness. Side note, I hope the find a cure for this thing. I hate it with every ounce of my soul
