Ocho Pinko?

(Dank-Game community: Please note that I am not suggesting that Chad Ochocinco is, or ever was a communist)

Well, it's almost October, so it's Breast Cancer Awareness month in the NFL . . . Wait, what? Not that I have anything against funding breast cancer research or anything, but given the fact that football is a sport that only men play (with extremely rare exception), I'm a little confused as to how this developed. Probably has something to do with the fact that Favre's wife is a breast cancer survivor.

Anyway, around the league, various parts of the NFL wardrobe will be pink next week to show awareness for the breast cancer cause (seriously, who came up this?) I was not excited about this for any reason until Ochocinco tweeted last night that he plans to take this wearing pink thing way too far.

Although the pink wardrobe will only officially be around next week, the Ocho says he plans to wear pink the entire month of October. And not just the very limited elements we'll be seeing elsewhere. He also tweeted that he'll be "wearing all pink gloves, shoes, and wrist bands" and later added a chin strap and mouthpiece to the list.

Lastly he added that he'll match any fines the NFL gives him with a donation. Guess he was serious about setting aside $100,000 for fines this season!

Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk pointed out that this actually puts the league in a precarious position. Ordinarily, the league can easily fine Ochocinco as he is in clear violation of the wardrobe requirements. This time however, he is doing it in support of a cause that the NFL is supporting with mandatory participation of all players. So if they fine him, it sends a mixed message.

Pretty smart Chad.

In an unrelated note, on the preshow to Monday Night Football, Chad publicly asked Obama to borrow Air Force One on Mondays so he can easily travel to every MNF game. Wow!
