Yeah Mike, I guess you’re right, I guess I am an asshole for being polite, patient and civilized towards other people…I guess I would get more respect if I behaved more like people like you..pushing in front of other people, not speaking to anyone… instead I’m considered a narcissist (do you even know what that means?)…

There is nothing wrong with the colour, there is nothing wrong with the cause. The combination of the two makes some people cringe for all the wrong reasons. But maybe we should think about cancer in general as a good cause for remembering in October. Cancer Awareness Month, with a multicoloured, checkered ribbon on all uniforms of all pro and college teams.

Latin American countries are extremely conservative with that subject and take symbolism very seriously. Venezuela is especially adamant on the stand against homosexuality. Sigh what a sad little country I was born in.

x-Jim Rome

I concur whole-heartedly. At least it wasn’t bags of urine or blood being tossed from the stands.

Don’t we men give them enough attention? Aren’t we always being reminded that ‘My eyes are up here’?

So, you’re one of those self-centered, inconsiderate, disrespectful assholes who keep people waitng in a line because you think you have something important to say. We all know narcissists like you. When you say “civilized conversation” you mean talking about yourself to someone that has a job to do: to serve the people behind you so they can get to work on time. I love jerks like you!

I guess if anyone needed anymore proof of how selfish, ignorant and heartless the world has become, they only need to read this article and some of the comments that have been posted. I cannot believe that we have so little to complain about that sports teams wearing pink has become such a sore point. This is the kind of crap that allows “political correctness” to take root, where people are afraid to express views, or show any kind of support for any kind of cause without some kind of backlash from ignorant, selfish asses whose only skill is thae ability to type. So sports teams are wearing pink to show support for breast cancer awareness..boo-hoo. You are the probably all the same people who now whine about pre-game ceremonies going too long, or having to wait an extra few seconds in line for your overpriced coffee, while the person or persons in front of you have actual civilized conversations with the people who work behind the counter…By all means, don’t gripe or complain about anything important, like high taxes or the increasing creeping of government into your lives, but sports teams wearing pink? There’s an excuse to have a riot.

I’m sure the women who were in the stands who thought that the organization was doing something positive for them were really impressed..Then I guess you can expect this kind of behaviour from a place that has someone like Hugo Chavez as their president..You probably think he’s okay too…

What next,do you want to do away with hockey teams throwing stuffed toys onto the ice at Christmas time? Or maybe canned food drives for the local food bank? Why don’t people like you bitch about some of the important things in life, like high taxes or government corruption? On the one hand, people like you bitch when organizations don’t do enough to publicize important issues like breast cancer..then when they do, you bitch about them going over the top. They can’t win…nobody can win in a world with people like you who aren’t happy unless they have something to complain about.

And that was before you got beat up. My stance is to keep outside issues outside of sports.

And any male who wears pink is still a (meow).

I’ve been done with the pink uniforms for years. Sports and charity should be kept separate.

Breast cancer is very marketable because they have a signature look (pink) and people with the disease are viewed as victims. The good thing is that, largely due to the funding and awareness, breast cancer is one of the most easily treatable cancers today. However, at this time, it receives a disproportionate amount of funding compared to other illnesses and cancers.

For example, lung cancer not only kills more people than breast cancer, it affects and kills more WOMEN than breast cancer. Unfortunately, people with lung cancer are not viewed as victims due to the high association with smoking. People view lung cancer as a result of individuals’ poor decision making and do not wish to help as readily as those with breast cancer, who had very little control of whether they developed the disease. While this view is not entirely unfounded, one must consider that if someone makes a mistake (i.e. smoking) do they really deserve to die for it?

Also, why don’t WNBA teams incorporate pink into their unforms? I think it would be acceptable for a pink and navy, pink and black, or pink and white look for a few teams in the league

Yes I have friends and family affected by this and other cancers and diseases but can we just stop this already? It’s like the Livestrong bracelets. There’s a point they hit where the meaning is lost.
