I guess they can't donate to a cause without wearing the stuff .

The NFL is dead to me. I haven't cared about them for 15 years.

It's for breast cancer awareness. I guess I don't understand why the color of players' cleats bothers you, or why you think some of the old timers would be so insecure that they wouldn't support the cause.
I'm wearing 2 breast cancer bracelets right now (and every day) and own pink shirts and ties. I don't feel like I need a big, loud truck or other overt symbols to prove I'm masculine. In fact, supporting the women in our lives is what makes you a "real man."

Attitudes have changed since you were in college with those men, Dr. B.

If Grange wore pink shoes, would we still call him, "Red?"

You probably would if you had to play against him.

When my first child was born, we picked out a diaper bag. We picked it for features and solid construction, and as it happened it also was decorated with quite a bit of pink. My wife asked me if I would be comfortable carrying what mostly looked like a big pocketbook that had that much pink on it. My answer?
Yes, totally. There's nothing at all unmanly about carrying a diaper bag of any color especially if you're 50% responsible for needing it. The big fun was later on when shopping for more baby stuff. I'd set up the formula so I had a bottle of powder and one of water and a flattened paper cup to use as a funnel. (Glass baby food jars are great for this btw) When the usually female sales people asked if I needed any help and I could just say nope, I've got this. And make a bottle on the spot. At least one said the setup was brilliant. I was also lucky my daughter didn't have to have the stuff warmed. Steve B |

Rockne, Nagurski, Thorpe, and anyone else who was a professional athlete would wear whatever uniforms their teams told them to wear. It is a job, not a walkathon: the employees don't get to choose whether they wear their assigned uniforms:
Now if they were pieces of flair...

I don't know about cleats, but it is highly possible that all of these men did wear pink as young boys.
Pink as a "girl" color didn't make a full transition until approximately the 1940's. Up until then it was either gender neutral or a color for a young male. From a June 1918 Earnshaw's Infants' Department publication: Quote:

Quote:
I am weak (physically) and I do get emotional. I love. I cry. I do get palpitations in horror movies. None of this has ever made me feel like less than a man. At the end of the day I take care of my wife and children by working every day and being there for them in anyway I can. I don't need to build the house from scratch and kill the food they eat with my bare hands to feel like a man. I do have a beard. It isn't because I think I am tougher for having it. As a matter of fact I know I am still what you would call "weak and fragile". I have a beard because I like having a beard and my wife seems to prefer it as well. I have had a beard (or some form of goatee/beard) since I could do so. Then a couple of year's ago I was randomly asked by my brother-in-law if I grew my beard for "No-shave-mber". I had no idea what that was. I also thought it was strange that even though I had the beard as long as he had known me, he assumed that I had done it for some "cause" or to "fit-in" at that point. I just thought I would let you know that some of us "weak" men with beards know who we are. We are men.

C'mon, Sam. Real men know that's not pink, but rather more of a salmon.

Here's what I want to know - Why do we even have a separate word for light red?
Light blue = light blue Light green = light green etc, etc. Light red = pink |
