Leaders and Breasts: Michigan to don adidas Pink gear

But when will they start paying attention to this silent but ever growing epidemic?

 

run its course

finding a cure for cancer/breast cancer, then they wouldn't spend so much on new uniformz to "raise awareness", they would instead take all of the money required for the uniformz and donate it to a research foundation.

The last three years the teams I've coached have done this. Instead of wearing the pink socks, we collect at least $5 from every player and send it towards research.

It really frustrates me that these kids think it looks cool to play football while wearing pink while people (my grandma) are dying of breast cancer.

Nothing reminds me to perform a self breast-exam like pink accents on a defensive tackle's socks.

If you're going to pinkify your uniform, you ought to do it like Oregon.  The accents, hats and glove are just distracting and look worse to me than going whole hog.

Make it stop.

 

I am sorry for just being this way...but those pink gloves look exactly like they are grabbin'.....

Michigan should support colorectal reserach, as we may need it after Saturday.

Why is it necessary to wear this pink crap every year?  Why can't teams just agree to donate?

Are we really reaping THAT big of a windfall from the pink gloves and whatnot?  

Unsolicited my wife told me that she's sick of all this the other night while we watched football.

But not for football players.

 

You gotta be shitting me. Mich rolling into E Lansing wearing pink??? Wtf ...argh!!

So, so, so, so tired of this.

The worst part of this is the fact that if we lose, there will be plenty of front of the sports page pictures with MSU doing something dominant to us while we don the maize, blue, and pussy pink. I know I went there, but I'm over this awareness month destroying our uniforms. We'll look at this era of overfunded "awareness" pink as a complete mockery years from now. Mark my words.

Is this ever going to end or is every football team going to dress in pink for a month every season for the rest of our lives?

Hats off to SK for such successful marketing. BC is horrendous disease. Awareness and efforts to find a cure are worthy efforts. Its become the NFL and CFBs cause marketing that also sells merchandise and helps women feel closer to the game of football for them.

My only issue is using this huge platform solely for one cause when are so many deadly types of cancer, including, ovarian cancer, a more deadly killer of women, as well as other diseases.

Go pink or orange or whatever, but make the message to beat cancer, not just support a single organization. That to me is why I feel the NFL and CFB are a bit self serving with all of this.

But, I am prejudiced and envious because I have female family members who have battled other types of cancers that don't have foundations as effective as SK at marketing and raising awareness.
