You have to be freaking kidding me!!
Nutt doesn't want to offend cancer survivors

<TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width="100%" border=0><TBODY><TR><TD vAlign=top><!-- begin leftcol --><!-- template inline -->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 think 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.
This is political correctness out of control. Since when do breast cancer survivors own the color pink?
Does that mean teams can't wear yellow jerseys b/c that color stands for the troops?
When will this madness stop.
In no way does those players wearing a pink jersey have anything to do with breast cancer.
