I'm not sure it's more deserving, but I'm glad they're doing it!

They were gonna embrace Prostate cancer, but then they realized putting brown accents on everything isn't very pleasing to the eye.





Except in Cleveland I suppose.

Depends on who's giving/getting.

The Browns supporting prostate cancer would be funny enough, I imagine the funding for that research would go through the roof.

It seems more logical to raise awareness for the cancer that affects ~90% of your audience rather than the cancer that affects <10%.

That said I don't really care. If it's good for breast cancer research then it's fine by me.

How many players, coaches, and fans don't have mothers, sisters,wives, girlfriends, daughters, grandmothers, or other women in their life?

Seriously if you are talking about a man audience, think of the significance of them losing their mom, daughter, or wife etc....

How often do men discuss prostate or testicular cancer? Women talk about breast cancer or their concerns a lot.

Well, maybe I am being a bit jealous/insensitive, but I've had a number of uncles and male cousins that have had colon cancer and testicular cancer while my own father has battled prostate cancer recently.

Yet, a sport that caters it's advertising (beer, ED pills, etc) overwhelmingly towards it's male audience gives the spotlight to breast cancer? yes, a noble gesture, but not very focused, ya think?

All the more reason....

Chiefs Rool 10-03-2010 06:55 PM

no, but seriously. breast cancer is a terrible thing and it's extremely common and not much they can do to prevent it. It's also inherited a lot of the time and there isn't any reason not to have that awareness of it.

Not often, in my experience. Hence the need for more awareness.

And I should say there has been breast cancer in my family. I am definitey aware of it. That doesn't mean I need NFL players to wear pink to remind me. :shrug:

I don't doubt that. Why not raise awareness on those programs the majority of women actually watch? Lack of marketing focus.

I'd rather hear about cancer I can't catch while I'm watching football.

well, they say that men can get it. My wife makes me watch Nip/tuck with her and Dr. Troy got it.
