    So someone states that don't like the pink on NFL uniforms. Last time I looked it was ok to have an opinion. I am a guy who does not like the pink on the uniforms either. Its just commercializing the NFL.

    As far as where the money really goes anyway...don't get me started....:angry:

    you were too slow with your edit. To answer your questions, yes, I think I'm better equipped to express the feelings of men than you are.

    I don't really care if you think so. Which is why I decided to edit.

    Have fun enjoying this Sunday's football game. I know I will. Keep your eye on that pink!

    Then you would be ok with your team going pink all the time, right?

    I'm a bucs fan, so as long they don't wear those god awful creamsicle uni's they can do whatever the frack they want.

    And yes, if they want to wear pink wristbands the whole year I don't care...If an mlb player wants to use a pink bat the whole year i don't care. I more find it unbelievable that players can't go outside of the strict uniform guidelines if they wanted to represent something else.

    Person with 41 posts calling others a troll. Nice.

    Come back when you have some seasoning.

    I am sorry my hilarious geeky-themed gif did not please his honor, Judge of the n00bz.

    It also screws up the players, one time I saw a kicker miss two easy field goals with pink shoes, then on the third one he made it with a normal shoe.

    And yes, the NFL was very hip and underground and emo before breat cancer awareness came along and now its all commericial.

    Wearing pink screws up a game played by a bunch of guys in tight pant who are notorious *kitten* slappers? I'm not seeing the logic. Are you that sensitive to the color pink?

    Just so you know... in 2011 an Adweek/Harris poll had 55% of women in the US watching football. Seems to me "most" women are watching football.

    First up, I lost my mother to breast cancer last year. So you can be assured that I wanted, and still want, a cure.

    But this awareness business is out of hand. It's become a way to companies (and yes, that includes the NFL) to exhibit their support for charity in the most visible way possible - and make more money as a result. When a charity is so over-the-top recognizable, it's going to vacuum up support from everything else. Does anyone really think so many businesses support breast cancer because it's truly an important issue to them, or is it because ischemic heart disease, lung cancer, stroke and lower respiratory diseases don't have such a recognizable logo and don't shift as much product?

    Breast cancer is a topic that triggers an emotional response. Sufferers are someone's mother, someone's grandmother. But heart disease kills more people than all cancers combined*. Lung cancer kills nearly five times as many people, and 50% more women than breast cancer**. Yet funding is $13,000+ per death by breast cancer, compared to $1,600 per death by lung cancer***.

    The focus on one highly emotional, highly visible disease is ridiculous, and of detriment to society as a whole.

    February (love month) is heart awareness month

    No, I'm talking all pink. If pink doesn't bother you then you should be ok with them wearing solid pink. If not, then you hate boobies and you want women to die of breast cancer.

    Which NFL teams will be wearing all solid pink for the entire month of October?

    Only men watch and support football, right? Only women get breast cancer, right?

    hey make it about ALL CANCER and make it purple or blue for all I care, but really WTF does it have to do with gender as far as an opinion is concerned?(Men, we need to find some ball cancer cause to plaster all over a women's thing for an entire month.)That is just an ignorant statement all around.

    Get that out of here..stereotypes only!! That's like pointing out women generally pay lower insurance premiums because they are safer drivers.

    HAVING AN OPINION ON HIS OPINION IS FINE. BASHING HIM SAYING HE IS RUDE AND INSENITIVE IS WRONG.

    As far as the NFL being hip before cancer awareness, please search the threads for foods that stimulate the brain.

    THIS! Pink for breast cancer has become a brand. They make more money then any other charity, and the NFL (smarties, pepsi, and what ever major corporation that has a pink ribbon on them) makes a butt ton of money too! where's the research? where is the money going? why isn't it cured yet? I've had 2 cancer scares, one for breast cancer and one uterus cancer...what colour of ribbon is uterus cancer? nobody can tell me off the top of their head.

    Well thats your opinion, and it is a little too morally absolute for my taste, especially concerning matters of uniform color.


    Regarding your second idea, I am nothing, if not coachable. I searched the forums for "foods that stimulate the brain". here is what I got. What would you recommend now? I'm not sure I got what i needed. Should i start a new thread?

    Does that really mean women are safer or men are more reckless?
