    And it's kind of useless, there's so much money in the breast cancer business and most of it goes to the companies and not research.

    Pretty sure the players who's mothers, fathers, aunts, sisters, wives, grandparents who have suffered and some have died from breast cancer will argue against your statement.

    So if I don't wear pink to work everyday then I don't care? I have to wear pink to care?
    You don't have to wear pink to work or anywhere for that matter.

    But saying that players, coaches, announcers who do choose to wear pink because the NFL allows them to pisses you off is a pretty narrow minded statement.

    I am so f*cking sorry your precious boys in tight uniforms are a little messed up while women die.

    Calm down. People die every day regardless of what color the tight uniforms are. He didn't say the Komen Foundation should be out of business. Good grief.

    And, for the record, I like the pink in the uniforms.

    No but it's kind of a rude and insensitive comment especially when there are people on the board who are survivors or have friends and or relatives who either have breast cancer or have died from it.

    ETA: And SGK Foundation isn't as altruistic as you would like to think. They refused a charitable donation from some women in Las Vegas because they were topless dancers. Thankfully another organization didn't care what their profession was and took their donation.

    There are lots of rude and insensitive comments in this world. Hell, some of the rude and insensitive comments are actually pretty funny in my opinion (though not the OP). Regardless, we can't go around getting pissed off at ALL of them. How would we have time to work out???

    As for the donation from the dancers.....pics?

    Is there anyone, anywhere, who is NOT aware of breast cancer?

    I'm just saying that sometimes people need to be a little bit more tactful with what they say. It's just a color and it's just one month so get over it.

    As for the dancers, they were the Crazy Girls Cabaret.

    And you assuming that the NFL wearing pink increases awareness or fundraising is pretty narrow minded as well. For the vast majority of households, chartiable giving is driven by the female of the household. And what are the majority of the females doing on Sunday afternoon? Yep, not watching football!

    Where did I assume wearing pink raises awareness or fundraising? Don't put words into my mouth.

    At least I have the balls to say what the majority of people watching football on Sundays feel.

    Sorry brother, but you're on your own there. I watch football all the time with friends and it doesn't bother any of us. I think you may actually be in the minority here.

    I thought people watching football on Sunday were watching the game....not the uniform. How sweet of you to notice what is being worn though! Very metro of you :glasses:

    Not all men like football or sports either. I happen to know a lot of them that don't, my husband being one of them. I also happen to know a lot of females who are die-hard sports fans too.

    Just sayin'

    I watch football on Sundays. It doesn't bother me and it doesn't bother any of the other people I know that watch, either. Pretty sure your feelings are the minority, not the majority. Quit worrying about the uniforms and focus on the game.
