Helmets for breast cancer

[Fahque]

It's unfortunate that a great cause has been turned into a sleazy business opportunity for a few hucksters. But what's worse is they've decided to infest college football with their propaganda so that those of us with families can't even go to these "pink" games each year. With so many people casually throwing around the words "breasts" and "boobs" and talking about breast exams in public it's practically impossible to cover your little ones' ears every time. Last year, I had to explain to my daughter what a breast is after the game. A 13-year-old girl is not ready for that conversation, but apparently UM thinks otherwise. And people wonder why teenage pregnancy is on the rise.

WTF? I'm glad this is satire or I'd tell you to go crawl back under your holier than thou rock

I wish Anyone struggling with any disease the best... That being said, I wish people would just do some damn research... Trusting anything the FDA / Big Pharma says is the same thing as Russian Roulette... Breast cancer can be eliminated with Broccoli, Cauliflower, and Brussel Sprouts among other natural foods...

The helmets should be just solid pink with a baby bottle nipple glued on the top. Reminds us of what is really important.

I liked garizzalies suggestion. The only sensible solution I noticed.

To cancer?

No, for the purpose the poster stated: "Instead of pink, why not just go topless?
That would make me much more aware of breasts."

I don't know how much more aware I could be.

Having gone through extensive treatments last spring and summer, chemo and rad. I am glad I was able to support ALL medical research centers I could in the past. The pink thing, like the Red Ribbon becomes a statement without understanding and then mere decoration. The real need is in the research and development and Nike and the others should give those pink items away if they are so concerned. The money they take in could be going to actually benefitting everyone, not just the investors. We all know what cancer is and does, or should know by age 15..This constant pink thing is more showboating than helpful.

I think more and more people are starting to realize the issues that Highline Griz points out. Ms Griz is right on when she says pink is getting old - it is played out and has run its course.
I for one, and sick of having a whole month devoted to this sham in the NFL.

Pretty sure if it was a type of cancer whose main treatment was to amputate a man's penis (ie. his image of sexuality) there'd already be a cure. Just as it's been my contention that if the annual screening was jamming the family jewels between plates and screwing them down in a vice, there'd be a new way to test - like the next day. There's just no way to quantify the impact until it happens to you, right?

Thanks, Doc. Good analogy between something that has no reproductive capability and something that does. Wait, that's not a good analogy. It's actually a very faulty one.

The analogy is to the body parts that most define each gender's sexuality... I really thought that went without saying!

Most define each gender's sexuality? Apparently I have been doin' this wrong!

Well put, LA. Hope you are doing well.

Let's put it in the most basic level, shall we? A woman who has a hysterectomy may not be fertile but it is not readily apparent that she is missing her equipment, however, cut off one or both breasts and try to understand the impact on her and her significant other. Now extrapolate that impact to the "Lorena Bobbitt procedure" and that is the point of the original post. But you really didn't need to have it explained, did ya?

Ron, I have to applaud you for siring a lady at such an age. You look roughly early 70s (bonus for the clean living). Using the math skills imparted upon me by those in Bozeman, that would mean you slipped one past the goalie at about 60, right? You old sailor, you!

I couldn't agree more Ron, last night at a KFC a man in front of my daughter and I ordered a breast. I couldn't believe my ears. I sent my daughter to the car outta fear that she might get pregnant. If your kids aren't safe at a KFC then where are they safe?

Pastor Ron = pure comedy gold. :lol: (Goosetown & CDA, too.)

The helmet is indeed silver with pink paw. That is unless they changed it. That was the original idea from the staff & nike. But they already team voted a change on a certain game once. My guess is the university will show these either later today or tomorrow.

Sorry to hear that is a real proposal.
As to breast cancer awareness...
Raise your hand if you Don't know someone who has had it.
That is what I thought. I don't see any hands up. :ugeek:

My.mom.died.of.cancer!

Wow......you really missed the point.

If boobs most define a female's sexuality, then I have been doing it wrong. And I think you have too.

Hmmm, a month of pink is a horrible hardship to endure. Pretty sure if it was a type of cancer whose main treatment was to amputate a man's penis (ie. his image of sexuality) there'd already be a cure. Just as it's been my contention that if the annual screening was jamming the family jewels between plates and screwing them down in a vice, there'd be a new way to test - like the next day. There's just no way to quantify the impact until it happens to you, right?

Sure, there's fund raising scams and some ways are better than others to express your support but using that as an excuse to not support awareness or saying that it's an issue that's played out or "over exposed" is probably not one that will generate a lot of support among survivors, family members or those of us who have lost loved ones.

Who said I was looking to generate support from survivors et al? I simply think that there is enough awareness out there, and I think that the general populace doesn't need to be force fed pink for a whole month anymore.
This is just my opinion, and I don't need to have my opinion that's been posted on a football message board validated by any woman. The only female opinion I'm concerned about is my wife, and she happens to agree with me on this subject.

 

[Speedy Grizzales]

Senors and senioritas, all disease is bad but the pink crapola iss getting old. Abuelita Grizzales had cancer de mama, abuelito Grizzales had cancer de cola. Where are the other colors de cancer? Americanos need to grow up and quit jugando con sus tallywhacker.
Stay thirsty amigos.....

Don't forget prayer and homeopathy. Those'll both cure it too.
