If the NFL supports Breast Cancer Awareness, should they also support Prostate Cancer Awareness

If the NFL supports Breast Cancer Awareness, should they also support Prostate Cancer Awareness?
Teams are wearing pink uniforms to support breast cancer awareness, now should everybody stop shaving for Movember? Players like Randy Moss and Brett Favre are already there.

i brought up the same issue w/ a bunch of guys at work. it's just one of those dichotomies of our society. besides, which body part would YOU rather have emphasized (even if you are a woman)? breasts or buttholes? besides, just because prostate cancer isn't emphasized as much, doesn't mean that it's awareness is not supported financially or other means. you just may not see it. don't believe everything the media does or does not tell you.

I think that you are just making a little joke with this question. But, you are right in that they should give equal time. More NFL players are going to get Prostate Cancer than Breast Cancer. There is an imbalance in funding and support for research. As many or more people get Prostate Cancer (more so far in 2010) as get Breast Cancer. Nearly as many die from Prostate Cancer. But, Breast Cancer funding is about twice what Prostate Cancer funding is.

That would be fun. Little pink a-hole emblems on all the uniforms

Yeah I have always found it strange how much press breast cancer gets, as compred to other forms of cancer. Men are 2 times more likely to die of cancer then woman.
8 :
Yes
