I will surprise yk and say that I am not in favor.  I just want to be able to watch sports.

Relatives/friends who have died of cancer:

four first cousins, aunt, uncle, three close friends, and another fighting cancer now.

My brother is also a melanoma survivor.

I have many friends and family that have died of cancer.  I don't need to be reminded of it while watching a baseball game.

I like that they got the MasterCard logo on there.

Last time I was checked, I don't have it. But thanks anyway for remembering me.

I want to escape when I watch sports, especially sports' biggest events. 

Save it for May and June

[mtangelsfan]

This is why, even though we disagree 80% of the time, yk is still one of my favorite posters.

[yk9001]

When it comes to baseball, one can never commemorate enough.

[mtangelsfan]

Just get a patch.

May has pink bats for breast cancer for Mother's day and camo (or red white and blue) caps for Memorial Day.

You're watching the game. Its back and forth. Great match-up. Someone just ties it up with a 3 run bomb. The bam! "Oh yeah, my dad died. Fuck."

Reminds me of Barbaro

Here is a bit of perspective as to why there is an ad during a highly watched sporting event instead of some random day in May.

Lockheed is just now delivering on their 400 billion dollar jet fighters, the F-35, of which they will make about 2,300 of them and by the end of the production run will be obsolete.

The National Cancer Institutes budget this year was approximately $5 billion. So in 80 years cancer research will catch up with some war planes in dollars spent and there may just be a couple F-35 still showing up at air shows around that time.

Over 1.7 trillion has been spent on the mid east wars since 2001. I'm bad at math but I just don't think cancer research is ever going to catch up to that.

We have a fucked up sense of valuation in this country for what to spend our tax dollars on.

We need to Stand Up To Congress.

We have unsustainable population growth. We are being proactive.

My wife died of cancer.........so yeah. I'm all for it.

RIP Debbie.

[Blarg]

Reaching their largest audience to hit a very sensitive issue is the best they can do. During that break about 50 people died of cancer and about 2,500 during that game. I can see why so many don't want to see that going on when they are watching a sporting event that is supposed to be a break from reality. But for many reality didn't take a break.

Sorry about your wife, Vlad.

Leave it to yk to complain about a tribute for cancer victims.

Next up: yk vs. the Make a Wish Foundation.

After that, it'll be St. Jude's, then Habitat, then any animal rescue group, then.....

[Blarg]

They already did the Ice Bucket Challenge.

 

[Taylor]

The ice bucket challenge was lame. Just a bunch of kids trying to look all activist-y on social media without really caring about ALS.

My dad died from a stroke, likely brought on by losing both kidneys to cancer.   R.I.P. Dad.

Sorry for your loss, Vladfan!
