NFL to Tone Down the Pink, Play Up the Camo

Yesterday afternoon I took part in a panel discussion as part of an NYU sports business class. One of the other panelists was the buyer for a well-known chain of sporting goods stores — let’s call him Mr. Buyer — and he had some very interesting things to say, chief among them the news that the NFL will be dialing back the throttle a bit this year on Pinktober. This has nothing to do with the recent domestic violence issues that have been in the news — Mr. Buyer said the league had already planned to soft-pedal the pink months ago. There’ll still be some pink, but not as much. It won’t be used for any nationally televised games, for example.

The feminazis are hell-bent on eliminating the NFL in its entirety. The Pink-Tober was step one. What they never mentioned was that a good deal of the Susan Komen money was being given to the Planned Predators instead of being used in research.

And with this recent attack on the NFL on female-cruelty, it’s just about certain that the NFL will be crushed in a few years. As if the idiot players who are beating women waited until they became pros just to savage their women.

They’ve probably been into violence long before they got into the NFL. I’m convinced that most of the NFL players would be in prison if they weren’t on the field.

Other than to watch our local NFL team, I don’t watch any NFL stuff anymore.

NFL Camo?

Astroturf green with white stripes?

Pretty much what I’ve been predicting during all the whining here. Eventually Komen was going to get over present and annoy people and lose popularity and fade away. It’s a cycle people, repeated often.

Next, stop the silly ‘stand up to cancer’ on the Fox channels.

First, we gotta get rid of that stupid "Learn how to use a computer" commercial that gets run 2 or 3 times in a row...the one with that skank putting her face into a laptop's camera.

Many survivors themselves are sick of pink, too. Every October, the pink ribbons act like little reminders - they’re everywhere. You can’t even go grocery shopping without being reminded that you had the disease. There are other ribbon colors on display here and there, now and then, too, but the pink really stands out.
