NFL Referees To Use Pink Flags On Sunday; Breast Cancer Still The Only Disease Curable By Awareness (Apparently)

NFL Referees To Use Pink Flags On Sunday; Breast Cancer Still The Only Disease Curable By Awareness (Apparently)

Seriously though, all women over 40 should get a yearly mammogram

NFL referees will be without their trademark yellow flags this weekend as the professional football league hopes to raise awareness of breast cancer. While their are over 200 different types of cancers that affect humans, none of them sell quite like breast cancer.

NFL commisioner had this to say on the temporary use of the pink flags "Prostate cancer is deadly, but I don't even know what color that ribbon is. No, in this economy, if you're gonna back something, you want to back a winner, and the winner in cancers is breast. Besides, no one wants to be reminded of how they get checked for colon cancer."

Mary Burbridge, currently being treated for stage IIIB breast cancer, doesn't particularly give a fuck what color the NFL ref's flags are. She doesn't watch football.
