Partnership Will Fund Outreach and Breast Cancer Screenings in Underserved Areas
The National Football League and NFL Players Association will support October’s National Breast Cancer Awareness Month with their fourth-annual national breast cancer screening initiative and fundraising campaign. In collaboration with the American Cancer Society, the initiative, called “A Crucial Catch: Annual Screening Saves Lives,” reminds women 40 and older about the importance of having an annual mammogram.
I'm all for awareness but this pink stuff is too much. I don't know if players are required to wear pink but everyone does it anyway. If you don't, you'll get shunned. But how much pink? One wristband? Full socks? The problem is that the pink is too hard (need a lighter pink) and players run risk of fine if they over-accesorize. Can we establish a certain code of how much pink a player can wear? Sometimes it's too much, despite the positive message it's sending.
