    What Color Is Your Jersey...

    No numbers at MSU and pink jerseys (formerly) at UA, what is the world coming to....


    Nutt doesn't want to offend cancer survivors

    Associated Press





    FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. -- Arkansas coach Houston Nutt said that players caught loafing will no longer wear pink jerseys during practices in an effort to avoid offending breast cancer survivors.

    Nutt received negative reaction from people when they saw the players in the pink jerseys. Breast cancer survivors and their supporters often wear pink ribbons, and the nationwide Race for the Cure, which raises funds for breast cancer research, uses the color pink as well.

    "That's the last thing I want to do, is to offend a cancer victim, someone who I know how strong and brave they are," Nutt said. "That was the last thing on our mind, to discredit somebody who has shown a lot of toughness. I've had members of my family who had cancer."

    Nutt said the coaches are considering another color, possibly burnt orange, the color of Arkansas rival Texas.

    Well, the homos have taken rainbows away from Hawaii and now cancer survivors take pink away from Arkansas. Political correctness has gone too far.

    I just want to know what sane, rational person could look over and happen to see a football player practicing in a pink jersey and then think to themselves, "Hmmm, I do believe they are making fun of breast cancer survivors."

    Political correctness makes me want to throw up.

    I agree. Over compensating on political correctness makes me sick. But then again so do comments like yours.

    And by the way... it wasn't the "homos" that took the rainbow out of rainbow warriors. It was a group of meatheads at the top that weren't secure enough with their sexuality to leave the long standing Hawai'ian mascot unchanged.

    I'd appreciate it if you'd keep football on the football forum and fag bashing to yourself.

    And I thought it was because they made Jeff Gordon drop the rainbow off of his Dupont #24 paint scheme and his crew to drop the use of "Rainbow Warriors"....

    I'm just saying think before you post, Omaha. If the university is the house and athletics is the front porch, then this board is front lawn. Let's not litter it with garbage.

    Well, now I am offended. As a proud wearer of burnt orange during hunting season, I think I feel humiliated. Can they choose another color?

    Are you worried about offending homos?

    Actually research has shown the safest color for hunters to wear is hot pink...... I don't expect people to rush out and buy it. BTW, I have never worn orange while hunting. That tells you how long ago I quit. It was back in the days of horses not 4 wheelers. Of course, I was 17 before I knew people hunted deer in the daytime. Well, I guess I knew, but couldn't see why.
