53. "I've found it odd how so many kids obsess over wearing pink. " In response to In response to 52
I understand the positive message and meaning behind it, but I don't think they are fully motivated by those reasons. Some for sure. But for many it's just an opportunity to jump on the NFL bandwaggon. About half our games are played in October so pink naturally becomes part of our team colors. I'm just waiting for kids to ask about wearing various other colors that represent other causes.
That was a point of contention this year. My assistant coach didn't want kids to wear pink and that backfired bad. I stepped in and said they could wear wristbands/gloves & socks but that's it. For some it's a sensitive issue and I get that. But it's just one of those issues where you're like...'really? this is THAT big of an issue?'
