Perhaps timely that October is Cancer Awareness Month and people will be wearing pink ribbons to honor those in the battle for life.

Perhaps Jill can lobby to get that changed, too.

This is something similar to what happened at Arkansas earlier this year.

Arkansas no longer will use pink jerseys for 'loafing' players

April 7, 2005
CBS SportsLine.com wire reports
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. -- Arkansas coach Houston Nutt has asked Razorback fans to continue to support breast cancer charities like the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation and the Komen Ozark Race for the Cure.

"We received several calls this week from people saying they were offended by the use of pink jerseys in practice, but none of those came from the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation or the Komen Ozark Race for the Cure," Nutt said in a statement issued Wednesday.
Nutt had players who were caught loafing during practices wear the pink jerseys. Apparently the organizations' offices had received phone calls from people who said they were withholding their support because of the complaints about the pink jerseys. Nutt said the complaints did not come from either charity.

Opponents seeing red over Iowa's pink locker room

Associated Press

For decades, visiting football teams playing at Kinnick Stadium have dressed and showered in the pink locker room. The tradition was started by former Iowa coach Hayden Fry, a psychology major who said pink had a calming and passive effect on people.

Can this lawyer read? Hayden Fry had no intention of offending anyone, he did it because of the calming effect it has. Liberals will complain about anything and everything even something so insignificant as the color of a locker room. I wish the IOWA admin could just tell her to get over her inflated damn self and take a hike. Nobody gives a rat ass if you are offended - "It has no impact on your life, you do not even use the damn lockerroom". Shut up and bye bye now.

Would it be demeaning to Jill if I called her a B*tch.

Bulllll****ttt Bulllll****tttt Bullllll****tttttt... that's the downfall of a great nation when everyone becomes so goddamned PC that we have to start sugar-coating everything. Go to ****ing hell! I'm a democrat (maybe... so far I've voted for more republicans, but oh well...) but I'm about f'n tired of all of this PC bullchit. Grow up people. Idk, but I think think the women are the worst ones... and it seems to be the feminist, lesbians at that...

A whole column dedicated to Ms. Gaulding's problem with our pink visitor's locker room.
... plus a jab or two at LSU at the end.

We're now doing "PINK JOKES" in honor of the locker room debate... I thought this one was pretty good.

A couple attending an art exhibition at the National Gallery was staring at a portrait that had them completely confused. The painting depicted three very black, totally naked men sitting on a bench. Two of the figures had black penises, but the one in the middle had a pink penis.

The curator of the gallery realized that they were having trouble interpreting the painting and offered his assessment. He went on for nearly half an hour explaining how it depicted the sexual emasculation of African-Americans in a predominantly white, patriarchal society. “In fact,” he pointed out, “some serious art critics believe that the pink penis also reflects the cultural and sociological oppression experienced by gay men in contemporary society.”

After the curator left, an Irishman approached the couple and said, “Would you like to know what the painting is really about?”

“Now why would you claim to be more of an expert than the curator of the gallery?”, asked the couple.

“Because I’m the guy who painted it,” he replied. “In fact, there are no African-Americans depicted at all. They’re just three Irish coal-miners waiting their turn in the showers. The guy in the middle went home for lunch.”
