Location: Austin, Texas		Tough Enough to Wear Pink is one of the most successful marketing campaign (especially for a medical condition). Although we had the ice bucket challenge recently.
The PRCA ( for purposes of the NFR) made a decision to enter into an agreement with the breast cancer awareness charity. I wish all contestants would participate, especially the barrel racers. I have a hard time believing that the barrel racers don't plan their outfits out before they come to Vegas. Martha Josey continues to tell her students the importance of looking good ( your appearance) when you ride. Every contestant at the NFR has sponsors. A lot of the guys that had on pink shirts had their sponsor logos on those shirts. They knew and they planned ahead. But that said , unless the PRCA dictates what they have to wear it they won't let them compete then the contestants should get to wear what they want to.

Location: Willows, CA		I agree that they can wear what ever they want that complies with the rules of the rodeo. Since this is not the first year of this program, everyone knows that they will have a "pink" night. The fact that almost every sponsor had pink shirts done with logos shows that. As to just forgetting, maybe some rough stock riders, but not anyone else. My point in the older tread below was that having the opinion that a person does not support this program is an opinion that everyone is entitled to. Being embarrassed by having a certain color shirt on, and therefore not doing it is, in my opinion, stupid. I don't particularly like the color pink, but that is really not the issue here. I gladly wear it to support the sixteen years of remission that my wife has had from breast cancer. If a man agrees that this is a good program, he should man up, and wear a pink shirt in support of this. I still can't believe that some men are actually afraid of being seen in a color. I am not.
