Whether it was the Eagles defense….or lack of it, the numerous Raiders sacks, or the multiple injuries along the way to the 9-13 Eagles loss last night against the Oakland Raiders is not what is most important as I sit here behind my monitor formulating my blog for the day. The real issue for me as I review post game footage of these big strong football players tackling and pounding one another in true grit fashion, is that several of them are doing so in in pretty pink cleats and gloves. And it does not stop there. As I look onto the sidelines, another player is sporting a pink quarterback towel in his pocket while the man shouting out the plays in a pink cap that matches his pink patch on his jacket. If I didnt know better, I would think the long awaited and highly anticipated “coming out” party had finally begun. Nevertheless, I was mistaken. What was unfolding before my eyes in fact, was the NFLs efforts to support the National Breast Cancer Foundation and help raise awareness to this often times curable yet deadly disease affecting millions of women worldwide, as well as within the NFL family itself.
