Bye Bye NFL

Like I said, who isn't really aware of breast cancer? Seriously? Lots of other avenues for creating awareness. I don't believe the football field is one of them. I get it you have been chickified. You aren't alone. Lots of guys on this forum have been. Don't get butthurt over it.

They aren't making changes to prevent injuries, they are trying to protect themselves from lawsuits. If you know how a concussion happens, the helmet won't make a difference. How does a helmet keep your brain from bouncing around inside your skull? It doesn't. Now the helmets have given a false impression of invincibility. And I don't like seeing guys lead with their helmets and I have bemoaned poor tackling for years. LEad with the shoulder, wrap up the legs. That is how you tackle.

On a side note, I heard a running back once say, he would rather get cracked in the head than at the knees because the knee injury could end his career on the spot.

Look, I am not expecting you to agree with me. I am just stating my opinion

I have been "chickified"? LMAO! Oh please! That is one of the funniest things you have ever posted. Yeah, my concern for injuries and my support of breast cancer awareness is a sure sign that I have surrendered my "man card". lol Actually, yes everyone knows about breast cancer. So who gets tested and how often? Do you know? Obviously plenty of women don't because with every major awareness campaign there is a resultant increase in screenings and diagnostics. So the 2 minutes of pink you saw may have saved some lives. But you are afraid it will interfere with your masculinity? Tell that to the men who lost mothers, wives and daughters to breast cancer.

And if you ever want to know how "chickified" I am......

I lost my mom to breast cancer. Nice try though.

You are going the internet tough guy route?

:facepalm:

My condolences. I would think that you would know how important early detection can be.

Internet tough guy? lol No, I was simply suggesting that you base your accusations on facts rather than nonsense. I am open to discussion on virtually any topic. I'd be happy to discuss whether I am chickified or not. Of course, you will have to define "chickified" first.

early detection doesn't trump DNA

as far as being chickified, it simply means that everything is being looked at through the lens of women. Look at the women in combat issue. Chickification. My point stands

So if I support any women's issue, I am no longer seeing things as a man but thru the lens of women? Is that anything like empathy?

Nope you are missing the point and it is clear that you won't understand it. Not your fault.

As far as empathy, unless you have boobies and the same risk for breast cancer, there is no way you can empathize with women on the issue. It isn't your fault, people commonly confuse sympathy with empathy

So how can changing the color of the cleats and helping raise money result in the "chickification" of the NFL?

And how am I "chickified"?

Like I said, you won't understand and don't want to understand. We can just agree to disagree. No sense in continuing on any further. You might threaten to beat me up again

I don't waste time on threats.

It is clear you want to whine but have to basis for your whining, just as you have no basis for your accusation that I have been "chickified". It would be simpler to admit that than to fall back on the "you wouldn't understand" excuse. I do want to understand. But the idea that by helping a serious health problem for women and by refusing to accept 150 head injuries in a single sport somehow makes me "chickified" is laughable.

But I get that seeing pink cleats and pink ribbons threatens your delicate "manliness".

Judging by all of the failed slam dunks over the goal post I'm seeing these days, said sports would not include basketball. :cool:

I should have said "could HAVE played other sports." If they had trained for another sport they could have excelled in it.
