i used to think it was stupid too until i realized it was more prevalent than i thought
1 in 8 women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime
thanks to modern medicine, screening and prevention has significantly impacted a number of lives, but it isn't enough. we're still seeing stage 3 and stage 4 breast cancer when those could be prevented.

My cousin is a breast cancer survivor and had to endure excruciating pain for a prolonged period of time after surgery to remove her breast. Pain meds didn't work and was basically in torture.
If I have to endure watching pink socks so just one person avoids death or the pain my cousin went through than I find it worth it. Heck I'd take a whole season of it. adam is just very ignorant, probably not a bad person but just immature and ignorant.

We seem to be separated into two camps here. Most of you think those of us who are being sarcastic about breast cancer "awareness" are ignorant and mean. Not true. I think I speak for most of us. Our point is, there are a lot of cancers, but the only politically correct one is breast, and by the heavens, if we don't all jump on the "Breast Cancer Awareness" train we are a bunch of unfeeling bastards.
Multiple-melanoma (sp?). Also a horrible cancer. My friend died of it. Painful slow death, very little treatment. No marches, parades, picnics or parties for that one. Not enough awareness of that disease to justify an awareness campaign? Gioblastoma (sp?) brain cancer. Not many people have heard of or thought much about that one. My best friend has it and he is a goner. That disease is just not popular, well known, or politically correct enough for a lot of support. No one dressing funny in public, and no awareness campaign for that one either.

Having my wife go thru Breast Cancer 2 years ago and going thru surgery and Chemo, go F yourself, go sit thru a chemo treatment at a women's hospital and see if you feel the same. There were women who started chemo the same time as my wife and some never finished.....one of the dumbest things I have ever read in this thread. You may not like it, but there are many effected by it, so shut up and wait till the month is over. By the way they say that 50% of women will have breast cancer by 2020...they are finding children with it now, as young as 16 years old....but that's for a different thread.
if wearing pink on sundays even saves one life in some indirect/direct way, its worth the eyesore even though I cant stand it either. But look there is a woman who saw the NFL promotion and got tested, they found early stage breast cancer and she got treatment and cured. So if pink is what it takes, so be it.
Did anyone else notice that nobody on the Cowboys was wearing pink? Not even the little "captain" patch on the jerseys ... and this less than halfway through the NFL's Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Maybe players beginning to get fed up with the "cause marketing" charade?

Pink wasn't present in the Arizona TNF game either, you might be correct about the players.
I like that Brandon Marshal came out with green cleats, raising money for Boarderline Personality Disorder by getting fined.
I'm all for raising awareness and a ton of money against cancer, but the thing with the pink in the NFL is that it's over done to a point that the refs are throwing pink flags and using pink whistles. A pink ribbon lapel or a pink mouth guard is just fine, people will get the message anyway.
