Pink Block M Saturday

In that it is an intriguing tangent. I believe it would be valid if it were a difference, but most quarterbacks are not taking hits from a defense during camp. Is Sash implying that Stanzi was full contact during camp?

1. This exact quote was posted in another thread earlier.

2. Don't hijack threads. If need be, have someone else post it for you.

3. You "can't seem to be able to start this thread" because not only do you not have the required 100 points, you appear to have hundreds of negative points. So I'm guessing you can't start threads on your own for a reason.

Orchid/Violet.

I think it would be an awesome display of support.

And when dudes start dying from testicular cancer at rates that women die from breast cancer, then you'll start seeing testicular cancer get more attention.

Would be fitting.

have an awareness day when the XFL has an awareness day.

Yeah, raising money and awareness for breast cancer is so commercial and mainstream.  I'm going to go raise awareness about esophageal cancer over here with all the other nonconformists.

i didn't write it in the MNF thread, but I was thinking that this whole "pink" think has gotten really tiresome.  Really, does EVERY sports team need to wear pink shoes, wear pink gloves, use pink bats, etc?

Also agree about survivability.  How about ALS awareness?  My mom died of complications from ALS (aka Lou Gehrig's Disease) and there is no known cause or cure.  How about that?

I was unaware of breast cancer until just now

this one particular cancer is apparently a thousand times more important than any other cancer, but that's the way it is now, and it irks me to no end.  Especially because now October is one huge push for breast cancer awareness ... when that's probably the cancer people are most aware of.  There are other cancers and diseases out there, and though it's hard to believe given the time, money and marketing that goes into just one specific cancer, they also matter just as much.  At least, I think so.  I'd be certain, but only one has its awareness raised ALL THE TIME.

Well my mother died of breast cancer so if she were alive she would beg to differ with you. Breast cancer when isolated is definitely survivable but when it spreads, often due to not being diagnosed early, it can be fatal. So the whole "pink ribbon" thing is a healthy reminder.

Also if there is a break through in curing breast cancer don't you think all types of cancer would benefit? So instead of spouting off stupid shit on a message board make a donation this week end and don't bitch about it. We all pay $2.50 or more to get our own money out of an ATM machine. Now that is a waste of money.

I work in marketing for a food retailer.

There is a specific focus in the retail industry on women because when you look at shopping demographics, most of the shopping done in most households is done by women.

Add to that the fact that the overwhelming majority of breast cancer is found in women, and you've got a good cause that's relevant to the person buying the groceries.

I've sat in meetings where this has been a defined strategy to increase sales dollars.

It is a good cause, but it's being hijacked so that companies who put pink ribbons on their boxes can sell more units- pure and simple.

The sad part is all the other causes that need attention that aren't going to get it.

There will never be an MS/Colon Cancer/Autism/etc. awareness campaign in the NFL, etc. because sadly there's no 'market' for it.

Clearly you don't understand.  Breast Cancer is all about saving boobs.  WHY DO YOU HATE BOOBS?

I practice a strict no ribbon rule, regardless of color.

RAAAA THIS WOULD BE UNACCEPTABLE

ALSO WHAT IS /s

I guess Iowa's locker rooms are in support of breast cancer
