“I would say that many NFL fans are conservatives. A little off topic but was anybody really annoyed by this pink uniforms yesterday? They looked like a bunch of fags out there.”

For Breast Cancer. Sometimes freepers are... Nevermind

FWIW, I had the same thought when I saw the picture of the White House bathed in pink light.

Do they do up everything in BROWN for prostate cancer?

They are both killers, why should one be ‘glorified’ and not the other?

Why aren’t the ‘brown and yellow and black people’ upset that breast cancer is designated pink?

ALSO, I think PINK was associated with the Homo community (or definitely at least girls) before it was breast cancer or did ‘we’ steal it from them same way ‘they’ stole Gay from the General Vernacular or when the ‘MSM’ changed ‘US (R’s)’ from BLUE staters to RED staters?

One is glorified and the other isn’t because the Komen Foundation is one of the most effective PR organs in the country. But they’re starting to over saturate, people are getting tired of pink month. That’s how these things go. Once upon a time the Jerry Lewis Telethon was inseparable from Labor Day, not to mention all the companies that had the “Jerry’s Kids” change buckets; now I can’t remember the last time I saw one of those change buckets and most folks couldn’t even tell you if there was a telethon last month. Before Jerry was transcendent there was the March of Dimes, don’t even know if they still exist.

And as for the pink, it was feminine before it was gay. Which is kind of how it wound up “assigned” to both gay and breast cancer. Blue and red didn’t used to be tied directly to the party, used to be blue was incumbent and red was challenger which made blue GOP a lot because we won the White House 5 out of 6 elections, then the 2000 election turned “red state” in a meme.
