Gloves and shoelaces won't be the only pink items on the gridiron this week as the NFL continues its recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Referees working Sunday's game between the Miami Dolphins and New York Jets at MetLife Stadium will call penalties by throwing pink flags. The move to ditch yellow and go pink was the brainchild of a fifth-grader, who suggested the idea in a letter to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.

Well, if you are in Houston, one local company has some awareness.

"Yoo-hoo! Oh, Mr. Tight End, and I do mean tight! I seem to have dropped my pink hankie! Perhaps you should pick it up and bring it to me, and we can have a chat over what punishment I should give you for your naughty illegal use of hands. I could give you 15 yards, or a good spanking! Up to you, big boy!"

Perhaps it is on the WNBA’s site.

Why do we need to be aware during a football game or NASCAR race?

It is all about killing God and the Family Unit through Dialectical Materialism, so kids will be slaves of the state like in Brave New World. They want radical egalitarianism which eliminates all differences, so no genetic connections—no family ,no loyalty to anyone but the State, who is god. They are conditioning children as I type (Pavlovian and BF Skinner methodology)......Dr. Samuel Blumenfeld also talks about how the Fabian socialist John Dewey destroyed education in America on youtube.
Another creepy, evil Fabian-—below, if you are interested... we have to know the enemy so we know who we are fighting and where these sick ideologies come from.
This has been planned for a century.

This could be a pink base, not sure, but it is the "Breast Cancer Awareness World Series"

to wound by irony, criticism, or ridicule. The NFL is pinked by trivializing, useless 'awareness' efforts such as this."

Some of the "guys" at Washington College in MD do something similar one day each spring - put on "Walk a Mile in Her Shoes", to call attention to violence against women. The "guys" put on pumps and walk from the campus to downtown Chestertown and back, about a mile round trip. Good message. Bad method.
