Every October, I switch various social media profile pictures to this
ribbon. We know what the pink stands for, considering we see it all the
time on a football field. Players wear pink in support of breast cancer
awareness month, which is a fine enough cause to believe in and support.
Breast cancer is one of the leading causes of death among women, and it
can affect or has affected someone in all our lives. What far fewer
people seem to remember during October, however, is the wearing of
purple ribbons during October as well. Given the NFL’s negative press in
the month of September, it might be better for some of them to wear the
purple ribbon instead.
This ribbon is for domestic violence awareness, which is recognized in
October, as well. The National Coalition Against Domestic Violence has
spearheaded the recognition for decades.
