Raising awareness? About what? There is confusion about whether it is about women, or breast cancer. I think people are aware about the existance of both. To me, wearing pink is like all those people on Fsacebook who click "like" on a post about child poverty - it does absolutely nothing to solve the problem.
My wife shaved for a cure - I remember some very generous forummers donated to her cause. She raised about 3k. She also experienced what it would be like for a cancer patient in society.
Wearing a pink jumper does none of that - although if the jumpers sell then there is (hopefully) money for charity. And if that is the point - call it what it is - Breast Cancer In Women Round.
You volunteering you f*ckwit?
She cops that not because she is female, but because she is a f*cking idiot. Go through other female posters threads and tally up all the seatwetting jibes. You wont find any.
No, you implies that the NRL does nothing to improve the treatment of women by players - which is just totally wrong, and even a mentally challenged leopard slug could nut that out - but obviously not you.
Breast cancer affects men too. That is being ignored. Its "Women in League round", and I am yet to see any club publicly acknowledge any Women In League. But they have taken a marketing approach to sell jerseys - and made no commitment to supply any charity pith any percentage that I am aware of.
So what argument is left? Some simpletons have brought up the old "if you dont wear pink you must be homophobic" rubbish. Well, if by changing one colour in a clubs jersey to pink, regardless of how abysmal it looks, means you are gay tolerant - wtf has that got to do with women?
BTW, I am a white ribbon day ambassador in my workplace. White Ribbon Day would be a great theme in the NRL. In comparison, the pink-breast cancer link merely means the NRL is celebrating women by focussing on their tits.
