Seriously? The ribbon is pink because it's the 'girl' color; it's also a calming color that's believed to lessen stress and sickness, which helps give hope to the fighters of cancer. The pink ribbon foundation may be a nuisance for you, I'm so sorry you have to go through watching a football game where the players shoes are pink; but for other people it's a beacon of hope. And for others who have had cancer and fought it and won, it's a way to tell the world, 'I did this. I fought this off and am a warrior.' You're not wrong to want to escape reality and pretend there's no cancer, but the fact of the matter is that there is. You could stay home and read a book if you're too annoyed to go out and see people proud of their accomplishments as cancer patients or past patients.
Is it normal that I'm sick of pink ribbons and the whole campaign?
