Those are all team and player option, there’s a list of minor items they can make pink and some players have gone for none of the above.

And let’s not forget UW goes way beyond patches on the uniform, you ever stop to notice why the Thanksgiving games get Superbowl-esque half time shows now?

This thread exists for the same reason last weeks thread complaining about the Spanish stuff existed (got pulled eventually): some people go through life looking for reasons to get mad. It’s just some pink crap, it changes absolutely NOTHING about the game, come the first weekend in November every single person complaining on this thread will have forgotten all about it, because they’ll have found something else to complain about. Heck you can see how superficial the complaining is just by the timing, the pink has been on display since the pre-game shows and it’s not until the second half of the last game that any of the complainers even bothered to notice.

Not as far as I’m concerned.

The pink NFL stuff is just the tip of the iceberg in a world of corporations and businesses flooding consumers with their PR — er, “support” for the Komen foundation.

I don't doubt you, but I'm curious as to where you got this info.
