You have identified the problem with the ever-enlarging Komen pink mega-marketing campaign.
It is NOT based on CHOOSING to wear pink. It is not based on choosing the support breast cancer research.
The NFL players did not choose to wear those uniforms. I don’t choose to have my hamburgers in pink wrappers, or my medicine bottles with pink tops, or milk or cereal in pink cartons and the list goes on and on . . . pervading, it seems, literally almost every product that comes into my life, all blaring that I’ve now been enlisted in helping those companies “support” breast cancer awareness.
Yes, I could choose to stop buying the things I regularly buy, but that proves my point.
I have personal experience with breast cancer and I can tell you that I am sick of this campaign. I think it is becoming obnoxious and to the point that it is cheapening the whole enterprise. Hence you get garbage such as “I heart boobie” bracelets. This is because the Komen campaign has made it okay to treat breast cancer as if it’s nothing more than a rock band you become a fan of it.
Sorry, I’ve had it.
If you check, you will see that it is an individual choice for NFL players to wear pink or not. They do it for their own reasons.

It's sick ... twisted. It's such a blatant anti-masculine ploy. "Oh, so you men thought you had your little football refuge ... Think again." That's the meaning.
