So, AnneMarie, over at Chemobrain, wrote a great post last week about Brandon Marshall going against the NFL’s pink tide and October focus on breast cancer ‘awareness’. Brandon, who plays for the Chicago Bears and has personally dealt with mental illness, choose to wear green cleats instead of the NFL sanctioned pink, in honor of Mental Health Awareness Week.
I tried to simply share the post, but am having issues. Instead, I’m going to link you here:
Thanks@BMarshall For Standing Up For #Mental Health
Great post–and Brandon Marshall deserves some serious recognition.
And, in case any of you would like to know of my football loyalty:
- Detroit Lions
- Chicago Bears
- New Orleans Saints
Happy Sunday!

Personally when all the Pink comes out at a sporting fixture I would prefer to see a fund raiser that is for Cancer Research in general for males and females… Yes all cancers… Afraid the all pink at a sporting fixture upsets me!!!!
