eli Manning is Wearing No Pink (Sunday Night Football Vanity)
Sunday Night Football | 10/11/2015 | Me

Posted on 10/11/2015 6:59:24 PM PDT by ponygirl

I've become so used to seeing NFL teams looking like they vomited Pepto Bismol all over the field that I was somewhat surprised to see so little Breast Cancer pinkness on Sunday Night Football. Then I realized that, aside from the stickers on helmet and badges on his jersey, NY Giants QB is wearing NO additional pink merchandise. I thought the players were required to wear something (in previous years it was ONE item minimum) and this year it seems like the requirement has been three or more items. Can someone explain how Manning gets away without wearing pink wristbands, towel, socks, shoes, elbow wraps, mouth guard, face mask clips, etc. etc. etc.??

I mean, I know Eli thinks he's pretty special, but what gives...?

All the pink items worn by players and coaches are auctioned off and proceeds are given to the American Cancer Society. The NFL has raised $6MM since the program started.

What football needs is more pink, even after this month. Not really, but here it is,

I like and watch pro football—and I think the whole thing looks and is ridiculous.

I agree. Can you imagine if we somehow took ourselvers and our families 50 years ago, and timewarped to now, what we would think?

You are right, wearing pink to cure a disease is right up there with witch doctor chants.

I will pay attention when they have a Testicular Cancer Awareness month.

Great cause and great that the NFL supports it, But ONE WEEK WOULD BE ENOUGH. I think a full month of it is overkill and there are other worthy causes.
