Why would they phase this out?  Its a good thing and the apparel sells well.  They need to phase out play f*cking games in merry ole England.  I'm going to be mad as hell if a Panther's home game gets sent over there.

 

Because the fans love having games played in England.

 

(at least that's what they tell us)

A lot of the stuff the League's been pushing - the 18 game season, for example - was supposedly for the fans, yet most of the fans I actually hear say anything it don't want it.

 

18 sounds good on paper and I do hate two of the preseason games(1 & 4).  I know it would be terrible for the players though and would ruin the playoffs.  We would have Super Bowl games with third string QBs.  You would have star players sitting out with nagging injuries in the playoffs.  Its just too much.  They are gladiators, but not Roman gladiators.

October is always the NFL's Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

 

Someone pointed out it's gonna be interesting to see that juxtaposed with the NFL's domestic violence image problems.

 

To honor crazy women everywhere the NFL players will wear a red ribbon on their jerseys for one week every month.

I think the fans were starting to get tired of it even before all the DV issues.  It'll be gradually phased out. 

 

I think breast cancer is something that everyone can truly get on board with.

 

Women don't like the health concerns and all that.  Men are completely fine with women finding a way to keep their breasts in tact.

 

4 weeks of pink stuff is a bit much.  Could see them dropping it to a one or two week span.

I take issue with the message. Instead of raising awareness, Susan G Komen Foundation, what about telling women what they need to do? Or perhaps instead of pulling money from an organization that actually does free screenings, Planned Parenthood, you could give back a little more than the measly 8-9% of the total money you take in? Perhaps instead of suing charities for using your trademarked phrase, 'For the cure' you would welcome any charity trying to raise money.

They started to phase out the pink last year it seemed.

The first two weeks of October was LOADED up with pink, more than in recent years it seemed.

But then the last couple weeks of October it seemed that most players stopped wearing it, and I think even the captains patches for the last game or two in October weren't pink like they were earlier in the month.

Might have also had something to do with the articles coming out about just how little of the money made of selling that stuff actually went to research. The "overhead costs" of them making and selling the stuff was astronomically high and I think it came out that like only 25% of sales or something low like that went to where it says it was supposed to go.
