Marlboro, NJ Boy Made Recommendation in Letter to Commissioner Goodell
Pink penalty flags will be used in Sunday’s Dolphins-Jets game -- the final weekend of Breast Cancer Awareness month -- at MetLife Stadium.
The idea was suggested by 11-year old Dante Cano of Marlboro, NJ, a fifth-grade student at Asher Holmes Elementary School, in a letter (right) to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.
This is an interesting development. Pink penalty flags for Breast Cancer Awareness month. After thinking about this for a bit, I wonder why this isn't a permanent thing. Players wouldn't over-pink their uniforms and the flags would be a subtle, but noticeable change. I am for it, although I don't like having breast cancer awareness associated with intentional grounding. But I think it's a pretty neat idea and we'll see how it looks.
