All right, enough with the pink already.
It was the Susan G. Komen folks who started the pink ribbon, and now the ribbon and the color have been adopted internationally as a symbol for breast cancer awareness. Well, cool. I am all for anything that raises awareness since my partner and I are both breast cancer survivors.
But now the Women's Basketball Coaches Association is sponsoring what they call the Pink Zone to raise awareness, and for ten days or so in February, women's college teams are taking to the court in pink. Did I say pink? I meant PINK.
NFL and MLB and NBA players and coaches adding pink shoes or a pink headband or a little pink trim on a cap -- that's one thing. But these completely pink uniforms some of the teams are wearing put it way over the top.
Somebody needs to mention to Illinois that the orange numbers on their pink suits was a distinctly ghastly choice. Orange and Pepto-Bismol are not on the same color wheel.
