Jobert brought them after his grandma died of breast cancer

they have stuck around because some guys hit well and liked them, and then younger guys saw those guys wear them and then they started wearing them.

Maybe I’m old school but I hate them and can’t wait until it’s no longer a thing.

Why have bleach blonde hair? Why wear a gold chain? Why have a mullet?

It's a fashion statement. Whether we like it or not doesn't really matter.

And there's always that possibility that some of the guys that wear it have a loved one that has suffered from breast cancer

Everyone knows it’s for swag. They‘ll wear whatever they can get away with. Shin guard, elbow protector, two oven mitts, pit vipers, tattoos, ear ring, borderline black face eye black.

I never said what I thought mattered. I just stated my opinion. I like the look of uniforms. I like guys wearing black, white or teams colors. It’s a personal thing. Just like I would hate it if football players started wearing pink sleeves or pink socks. I personally don’t think it looks good. Just like I don’t think it would look good if every player decided they wanted to wear a different colored sleeve.

But if someone decided that they wanted to wear a red sleeve because one of their family member has aids I would say the same thing.
