    Why are male professional athletes promoting fighting breast cancer?

    Don't get me wrong I'm not against fighting breast cancer but shouldn't the male professional athletes be campaigning for fighting testicular cancer, prostate cancer, lung cancer, brain cancer, colon cancer or leukemia instead?

    Is fighting breast cancer more important than fighting all other forms of cancer? Not quite sure why fighting breast cancer has it's own month.

    And please no mean comments. I am in favor of fighting breast cancer. I just don't understand why it is more important to fight breast cancer than all other forms of cancer.

    Pavy, I know of woman in my family as well as close friends who have battled breast cancer. So it affects all of us. I think it's noble that these athletes have taken to this.

    Instead of pink and a pink ribbon like guy athletes wear for proclaiming they are fighting breast cancer,what should women athletes wear to proclaim they are supporting the fight against male genetalia cancer?Maybe something like a piss yellow or soiled colored jock strap.hehe!Man it's hard to keep track of who's playing on everyone's team these days.I heard the WNBA has 3 different shower rooms.Chaz Bono can represent the straights,the gays,the males,the females,the transgenders.you name it.

    It's all politically correct bull crap.Take me back to yesterday once more!

    Also, men also can have breast cancer so it's not just a disease that women get.

    The majority of these guys are wearing pink because it's gangsta, not because they want to fight for a cause, unless it's the thug life cause. Pretty amusing really.

    Really? Gangsta? I didn't know this. I don't keep up on that kind of stuff, but it does explain a lot of things.

    Yeah, it was very convenient for them that the league pushed this, now they get to thug out under the cover of fighting breast cancer.

    Think it's because of all the strip bars they go to. Can't have a tittie bar without the breasts.

    We all have dads too. Approximately 40,000 women will die from breast cancer this year, I wonder how many men will fall victim to testicular or prostate cancer this year (hint, it's more than 40,000). That said, there's no way the major sports leagues would promote testicular cancer awareness, so it's ok.

    Meh, I say they should be fighting for a more worthier cause. Homeless, hungry, abused, and/or orphaned children. Now there's a good cause.

    cause when you touch a breast, you pop a boner. It works every time. I don't make the rules but it is what it is.

    I'm pretty sure when someone touches your nut you pop a boner too but no one is promoting fighting testicular cancer.

    every little bit helps. Just because you can't solve all the things in the world doesn't mean you can't do your bit no matter what it is.

    Another dumb@ss thread yet again.

    I know a couple folks, friends, co-workers, that lost their wives or mom at a young age, under 40. Great to see the awarness is out on national stage, because it probably makes women less secure to see a doctor, instead of waiting until it's late in the stage.

    The reason the NBA or NFL probably isn't promoting the other cancers, because this one is more preventable and more likely to be curable verses the other cancers if detected early.
